I'm doing my first all grain brew tomorrow. I'm making the same brew that I made last week with the partial mash recipe. I want to see the difference.
I made my mash tun today out of an igloo 5 gallon water cooler. I couldn't find any SS fittings anywhere in town so I went with the kooler kits parts.
The recipe calls for 10.75 pounds of grain total. Single step mash. I will mash in at 1.25 quarts per pound of grain. That puts it at 13.5 quarts for the mash. The sparge will be done with 3 gallons at a rate of 1 gallon every 15 minutes.
Mash temp 153.
fly Sparge 185.
Does all of this sound right?
Thanks guys.
