I tried doing an all-grain recipe with 6lbs of red wheat, 1lb torrified wheat, and 5lbs of 2 row.
I tried doing it in my 6 gallon pot, in a mesh bag. it was messy but I was able to keep the temp pretty close to 155 for an hour, I then sparged by taking 2 gallons of 168 degree water and poured over grains on a large stainer.
I know this isn't the perferred method but I tried to do it with the materials at hand. I had to add about 2 gallons of water by the end of the boil to get the 5 gallons i wanted. Put lid on top and shook the hell out of it and immediatley took a gravity sample and added yeast. Then took reading of sample and It was very low at 1.03 my aim was 1.06.
I added about 34 ibu of bitterness to it so I'm worried with that low of a reading it going to be too bitter. when I opened it up after I shook the hell out of it there was a large layer of foam on top when I took my reading Because I added a lot of oxygen could that have possibly affected my reading?
