Hi all,
OK, my last step is to set up a mash tun large enough to handle 40+ lbs of grain, etc. What is the max amount of grain you have been able to push into your 15 gallon sanke keg MTs? I was thinking of using my old HLT as a MT - just not sure if it will be large enough? I ordered another 25 pot - but I want to brew this week end - what do you think?

According to The Rackers site, 40lb @ 1qt/lb will take up 13 gallons. It will be close.

That's been my experience too. Of if your mash will be even larger you can use 2 mashtuns. I still have my old 5 and 10 gallon Gott mashtuns that I pull out every once and a while.
