Can you see any faults in the proposed brew schedule for my first AG batch.
Any tips to make it easier? Thanks.
Heat 6 gallon of water in hot water kettle heat to 165f
Add Grain bill to insulated lauter tun (8lbs for this example)
Add 1qt of water per lb of grain for 8lbs = 2 gallon
Stir; make sure temp settles at 155f
Leave for 90 minutes
Have a home Brew
Heat hot water to in boil kettle to 170f
Run wort from lauter tun and recycle until clear.
Given grain estimated absorption of 0.1 gallon/lb = 0.8 gallons lost for 8lbs from 2 gallon
First run off should be 1.2 gallons, drain into brew kettle
Requiring a further 4.8 gallons for second sparge
Add 4.8 gallon of water at 170f and stir.
Drain into brew kettle.
Should be 6gallon in brew kettle
Boil until rapid rolling boil occurs
Add Bittering Hops
Have a home brew
Wait 30 Minutes
Add Flavour Hops
Wait 15 Minutes
Add Aroma Hops
Wait 10 Minutes
Add Irish moss.
Add cleaned immersion chiller boil for a further few minutes
Reduce heat to 80f (Collect chiller water for cleaning)
Take Gravity Measurement and record. Drink sample for reference and to save binning it!
Have a Home brew to get rid of sweet taste.
Strain into fermenter and aerate
Pitch yeast
Add cap and airlock.
Relax and have a home brew.
Check obsessively every 5 minutes for activity.
Ask for assurance on Home Brew Talk when I think my baby doesnt start!
