I undertook my first all grain today, Hefeweizen. I have to say everything went fairly well.
I hit my first rest temp (122), actually I was a little over but no big deal.
Only problem, really missed my infusion to reach conversion temp (152). I think I grabbed the pot off the burner before it was boiling. Oh well, fixed that.
I was fairly impressed I got around 68% efficiency. Not bad, I think that will go up as get more mashes under my belt.
I planned for it to take all day. It took less than that...6 hours.
Just checked the carboy, have bubbles...ready for blow off.
I just wanted to thank everyone how has answered my questions and everyone who has provided great information here!!
