First of all, thank you to everyone on the forum, I would never have tried this without all of the good information on here.
I brewed up a batch of Edwort's Haus Pale Ale. Things seemed to go pretty well and AG is much more fun and rewarding than extracts.
A couple of issues came up and hopefully someone can help me out.
After dough in I let everything sit for 1 hour at 152.6. I was supposed to add 5 qts. of 175F water but only 4 qts. would fit. I'm using a 5 gallon water cooler. I stirred in the 4 qts and waited about 5 minutes before draining. When it got low enough I added the 5th qt. How long should you wait after adding the 175F water before draining?
My OG after the boil was taken at 69.8F and it was only 1.042, it should have been 1.051. I don't know what caused this, could it have been the issue with the 5 qts. of water? I got the ingredients from AHS and to me the crush didn't look that great , but, I dont' have anything to compare it to either.
Even with the few issues it was tons of fun and the brew is happily bubbling away at 69F.
