I was wondering if you brewed this yet because I brewed the same recipe on the 6th but it was also my first all-grain attempt and my starting gravity missed the mark. Gonna rack to secondary next week with Mexican Vanilla extract, and bourbon soaked oak chips. Here is what I did...

As I mentioned early I think I was about 64%.

Just started brewing a month ago and this site has been great.

Off to a great start Wyeast 1056 yeast pack exploded on smack. What a mess. At least it ended up all over my buddy.

Smack the heck out of it. It won't explode.

I just built a 52g MLT out of a xtreme Coleman. I don't know my efficiency yet and am using a 1/2 in stainless steel braid. What efficiency should I use for calculation using a double batch sparging and a dragonsmilk clone recipe. I was thinking 70%.

I am planning on trying a bottle after one week and another after two. The waiting is the hardest part so I just brewed a blood orange hefeweizen all-grain recipe as my second attempt. I have 7.5 gallons in the pipeline and none in my fridge. Stay thirsty my friends.

Thanks for the feedback. I have a 5g pot and a 2g pot and a bunch of 6qts. Was your 5g a full boil or did you top off? I should just buy a bigger 20g pot so I can go straight to 10gallon boils.

I have this same kit brewing as we speak. I brewed on 15th, racked to secondary on the 22nd. Was hoping for superbowl brews but am going to bottle on Sunday and it won't be carbonated :(. How did yours turnout?

I used premilled wheat grains and. I milled the pale malt at the store. I did not double mill my grains. After grain absorption I was down to 3 gallons and I boiled down to 2.50g. I took a hydrometer reading and it came back at 1.045 SG it's suppose to be 1.046. I am pretty happy about that...

Thanks for the advice. I added heat a couple of times and monitored my temps pretty closely. I am taking it up to 170 now for mash out.

Okay, I am first to admit that I probably should have gotten a few more extract brews before I tried BIAB but I couldn't wait. I currently am making Extreme Brewing Blood Orange Hefeweizen. I only have a 5gallon pot. Being new to brewing I cut the current recipe in 1/2 and added 15% for...
