So I'm gearing up for my first all grain batch and would like some tips on my projected process. Any advice would help.
First, my equipment:
(1) 8 gallon aluminum pot
(2) 2 gallon pots
"zapap" bucket style lauter tun
I'll be using the big pot as both my mash tun and brew kettle and the smaller pots as HLT's.
Process steps:
1. Bring appropriate amount of water to 120 F (water amount dependent upon recipe) add grains and stir for dough-in/protein rest for 20 min
2. Heat to 148 F for saccarification rest for 60 min or until conversion complete.
3. Dump pot into "zapap" lauter tun, vorlauf and start fly sparging with 170 F water from HLT's.
4. Stop when desired pre-boil volume is reached.
See any problems with the process? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
