Can this amount of grains be mashed in a 9 gallon pot?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11.75lb Domestic 2 Row
1lb Rolled Oats
1.6lb Chocolate Malt
80z Carapils
8oz Caramel 120L
8oz Roasted Barley
1oz Chinook
1.25oz Spalt
1/4 cup cocoa powder
4oz cocoa nibs
13oz PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter
Mash at 155F for 60 minutes
Boil for 60 minutes
1oz Chinook @ 60 min
.75oz Spalt @ 60min
.5oz Spalt @ 20 min
1. Pitch yeast and ferment for a week. Longer if needed.
2. After fermentation add 13 oz of Powder Peanut Butter and 1/4 cup of cocoa powder. For this i used PB2 powder peanut butter from bell plantation and Hershey natural unsweetened cocoa powder.
3. Siphon the beer directly onto the peanut butter and cocoa.
4. Allow to sit for 3-4 days.
5. Add 4oz of cocoa nibs to the secondary and let sit for an addition 6-7 days. 10 days total from initial transfer.
6. After ten days proceed to bottle with appropriate carbonation methods. Optimal ready time for this brew is 4 months from brew date.

PackerFan,
I don't see why you couldn't. I think this recipe is from Zymurgy, isn't it? Good luck with it.
Go Packers!

Bob, stop trying to answer all the questions form PackerFan - lol! (Bob will do anything to get you into next year's Cheestradamus *)
I thought this was actually going to be a quick question and answer but it's not .
There's actually a few problems here PF. For example, you can actually mash as much as you want in any pot as long as the grain will fit in it. You can certainly fit that much grain into a 19 L kettle but the real question is what are you wanting to achieve?
For example, do you want 50 gallons of really weak wort or 1 gallon of super strong wort or something in between?
So, here's what we really need from you before we can answer the question completely...
1. A link to the original recipe or a copy of it so as we can determine things like OG etc.
2. The diameter of your pot.*
3. The depth of your pot.*
4. How big your fermentor is.
Let's go from there.

* Nice answer on Packer's crush in the other thread

Packerfan,
PP is referring to http://cheesestradamus.com/ Just in case I didn't mention it yet? I can't remember? The Packers will overtake me soon as I try to improve the site. I have been lazy so far!
