48 quart cooler - max grain bill

Mashing
1

Anyone know what the max grain bill is on a 48 quart cooler? I wanted to do a 10 gallon batch, My total grain bill would be 25 lbs… calculations looks like 8.31 gallons on Mash.

Thanks!

I’ve always found this page to be very helpful with these sorts of calculations:

Scroll down to “Can I Mash It?”

You can get 25 lbs in there but it’s gonna be a thick mash at 1qt/lb
