re: Homebrewing: Calculating a American Pale Ale Recipe

I'm sure others in here use a 10-gallon cooler as a mash tun? I'm working on a recipe for 10 gallons of an IPA for Zapp's and I'm worried I might be overflowing the mash tun. I'm going to need about 30 pounds, so I'm already going to have to make it a thicker mash than usual.
Is there any way 30 pounds is going to fit or should I partial mash and add some extract to finish it off?

My cooler is bigger than that but I would imagine you could have a difficult time mashing that. I think it would be easier if you fly sparge.
Do you have Beersmith? It calculates the necessary tun volume.

I don't think so... I use a 10 gallon igloo and I find my limit to be around 20 pounds.
might want to check out this site and work with the "can I mash it?" calculator.
