So Im prepping to set up my an AG rig of my own and jumping into the deep end. I would like to try and build as much of my rig as possible(on the cheap). I am sure there has been post about this in the past but when I search I only get small bits and peices. I already have this list of equiptment.
20 qt stock pot
34 qt stock pot
25' copper wort chiller
10 Gal. laurter tun w/ false bottom
plus essintial cleaners and mesuring devices from partial brewing
Will i require any more equptment than what I have? Also i would like some feedback on my recipe and steps as i have figured I will do on brew day.
5 gallon batch Bavarian Hefewiessen
4 lbs. 2 row Pilsner
8 lbs. red wheat
2 lbs. Munich
14 lbs. total grain bill
3.5 Gal. of mash water
plan on a 155 F mash for 1 hour
3.5 Gal. of sparge water @ 170 (will pre heat my strike water to 175 and pre heat my tun)
7 gal of total water
1.4 gal of absorption
6.6 gal total in boil
1 hour 36 min boil for 5 gal batch
Bitter hop 60 min left 1 oz. Hallertau
Aroma hop 5 min left 1 oz. Hallertau
Strain
Send through chiller to fermentation bucket pitch yeast at approx. 73 F. use liquid Wyeast 3333 German wheat yeast from LHBS.
As said, would love some tips, tricks, and general advice.
