Hi all, I've been creeping these forums for months just trying to soak up as much knowledge as possible, and I've learned a lot. All of my beers so far have been extract brews (no-boil Coopers kits) but I want to start moving up the scale and getting a little more control over the beers I make. The local shops around here are garbage, so I'll be ordering stuff from online soon but I had a question or two on partial mashing.
Firstly, money is tight and I cant afford to go out and buy a big boil pot. So what is the smallest amount of wort I can get away with by just "topping up" my fermenter with water?
I know that several pounds of grain will require more water, but is there a way to do say 4lbs of grain with a small amount of water and make up the difference in the end?
Cheers.
