Got my equipment yesterday, brewed tonight over the course of 6 hours (lol, yikes).
It was fun, and only possible thanks to this forum. Hopefully I'll see some bubbling tomorrow. It's a wheat/hefe, and I'll let you know in a couple months if it's any good
Here are the notes --

Here are the notes --
Wheat/Hefe from LHBS
6lb Wheat DME (Crosby & Baker; Muntons Wheat)
1.5oz Tettnanger hops 60min (Sub for Hallertaur)
0.5oz Tettnanger hops 1min (Sub for Hallertaur)
Safbrew WB-06 (11.5g packet) pitched at 71dF
3 gallons boiling wort in cold water bath in sink
40min from boiling to 150dF
40min from 150dF to 100dF
-then-
2gal 38dF water addition
instant from 100dF to 70dF
-then-
Pitched yeast, and it sits at 71.5dF currently.
----------------------------------
Hopefully all turns out well! Next time I'll have a smaller boil and larger cool water so that I can have a quicker chill, because I am not satisfied with the 90min of cooling to pitching temps.
Looking forward to seeing 1) bubbling in the airlock/yeast activity, and later on 2) if I kept everything as sanitary as possible or if it tastes like swampwater.

Thanks for all the help and the wonderful forum, guys - today was fun, and I've done a lot of reading (95% from this forum) to get to this point.
