Good Day I hope to be a brewer some day at this time I have never brewed anything I was going to start out doing all grain but ran into some bumps sourcing out my grains at a price I want to pay.
So in the mean time I want to do some extract brews with steeping grain and then a couple of partial mash brews to use up the 50 lbs of dry malt extract I have.
I have some time tomorrow to brew and here what I am thinking about using for a recipe

to 7 gallons and boil 60 minute
after boil let sit for 18 minute then chill (add cold water)
pitch yeast at 70 to 75 degrees
I have stopped buying beer as I want to brew my own so I would like to get going
Please help a brother out with some advice at this time I do not have a chiller yet but I do have a 15.5 cu ft freezer with a stc 1000 to ferment in
also a couple of 5 gallon Cornelius keg to keg in
I have a 16 gallon pot and a 8 gallon pot I wanted to a partial boil so I could top off with cold water to save on ice
any and all advice is welcome
all the best and enjoy the day
