Hop quant. for 2 brewpots full boil
I am soon moving to all-grain but can't afford a propane burner and ss mega pot so I will be boiling with two 5gal canning pots.

I'm a DIY so I think I'll go with the manifold anyway :) One more question, what is the maximum lbs of grain you can do with your 5 gal cooler ? I'd like to buy a cooler that will allow me to...

Volume by weight for crushed grains
Hello, I'm planning to build a mash/lauter tun with a round beverage cooler and I am currently shopping for optimal interior dimensions to have a grainbed of 6 to 12 in. I would like to know how much space (qts) does 1 lb of crushed grain occupy ? Is it something like 3 quarts ? I need to know this ...
