Well today was my first all grain brew! I made a double chocolate porter from paddock wood. The grains came all pre crushed so I wasnt too worried about the crush. The rest went very well. I hit all my temps exactly, well the mash out was .3 degrees high but it shouldnt effect stuff too bad. I had a little problem with the instructions and needed to add an additional 3 gal to the runoff. Then when I finished the boil there was just over 3 gal of wort after. So I topped it off and found my specific gravity was 1.048, exactly what the recipe called for and gave me roughly 75% efficiency. Not bad for my first all grain brew! Very excited over all, now if only my grain mill would arrive.
