So my current setup is a 10 gallon Mash tun and 2 keggles for HLT and boil kettle. My brewing partners and I would like to make a monster stout soon and partigyle the batch. However with the Mash tun i'm only able to mash about 25 pounds of grain. So a little back story is that one of the brew partners just bought a bunch of equipment from someone that included another cooler. So my thoughts to acheive the partigyle and still make a decent second beer was to mash probably somewhere in the 30 - 35 # range of grain but to split into the 2 mash tuns.
the process would go something like heat all my strike water, crush all the grains and then mash in with both coolers (roughly 1/2 in each). 60 minutes later pull the first runnings from each into my old 6 gallon kettle and then proceed to sparge all remaining wort into keggle and boil away. Ideally the plan is to end up with a 5 gallon batch of stout and 10 gallons of a dark something. does this sound feasable...
