Well i just finished my first all grain session for a Pale Ale which took me just over 6 hours and it went really well for the most part. the only downsides being a little rain, long time to reach boil and maybe adding a little too much top off water to the fermenter reducing my OG. if i was careful with the water i would have hit my OG right on the nose so efficiency was good.
My setup was very cheap as i mostly made my equipment from things lying around the house. i might consider making an electric immersion element to speed up the boil reach time. The Pale Ale recipe was an alteration of Papazians Good Life Pale ale. Here's mine:
23 litres
OG 1.050
FG 1.012
5kg Mild Ale malt
0.5kg Munich malt
0.2kg torrified wheat
1oz Cascade 7.5% 60min
1oz Cascade 7.5% 30min
1oz EK Goldings 4.5% 3min
1oz EK Goldings 4.5% dry
Irish moss
White labs California ale yeast
Next up is maybe a fruit ale or maybe a Hefeweizen. Thanks for everyones help along the way.
