just wanted to show off my awesome equipment. I just kind of threw it together and have made 6 AG batches with no problems at all. Hopefully this will answer some of the newbie questions about an all grain setup.
Getting the ingredients together to make an IPA
my BIAB grain holder with 2 layers of paint straining bags held in place with some clips, my mash kettle, and my hot liquor tank. I heat about 4 gallons of water in the mash kettle to strike temp and drop in the grain holder and fill it up with my grains. The hot liquor kettle is holding about 5 gallons of water heated to around 185°
I was shooting for 150° but would rather be a little low b/c I can always turn the fire up to target temp.
My 10.5 gallon boiling kettle on top of my turkey fryer with a grill grate I bought at academy sports for 3$, and my mash kettle. I know I'm not supposed to use the fryer indoors but I have taken the proper precautions.
I pull the grain basket out of the mash kettle, put it on top of the grill grate and rinse the grains with the water that was in the hot liquor kettle. I also add the wort from the mash kettle. I add enough water to the boiling pot to get around 7 gallons.
