Well... a lot more work than I thought. I went for a boil-in-the-bag version of EdWort's Bee Cave Bavarian Hefeweisen
My first blown assumption: My fancy oven will not accept 153 as a bake temp setting. I had planned on parking the mash in there.
I had to use two boil pots, while the first was cooling in cold water, I got in a hurry and slipped taking the boil bag off and WHOOPS dumped about 1.5G of 1.070 wort down the drain. FooK!
DUH #2: Thermometers are easily broken in the wort its food grade so I'm not spazzing too bad about it. I sloughed off the wort leaving behind the glass and black balls behind pouring into the fermenter.
Hydro of the cooled original wort was a 1.070! yikes! but only 3gals of it after my whoops.
I just happened to purchase wheat DME to make my starter with so I boiled up another gallon and used the rest of the pound bag and dumped that on top.
Final cooled hydro reading looked just short of 1.060 for 4 gals. so at least I'll have some beer when its ready, as long as my yeast goes to town.
The next one will be better - ha hah
