Very first All Grain brew tomorrow...oh boy!

[GeorgiaTiger]

Tomorrow I will be brewing my first all grain brew in my new RoboBrew. I’m sitting here going over the steps and making myself nervous about the whole thing. Any advice for a nervous first timer?

Sweet man congrats ! Keep notes and double check your steps as you do them . Have fun and enjoy. What are you brewing?

Relax and have a homebrew. LOL Don't over think it, it will turn into beer.

Citra, Azecca, and Mosaic. Gonna be nice and hoppy.

Have fun...and take notes! It's a big step, but nothing to be intimidated by. If you improve something each time, you'll be making great all-grain beer in no time.

Have fun.
I have also just started and turned out some fine beer (according to my own opinion ), and that's with plenty going not according to plan...
Just follow your steps, make plenty notes and enjoy!
And keep us posted

How is the batch going? Did the brew day go well?

actually put it off. Will be doing it in a week or so. Life came up and knocked me down.

I was under the impression that robobrew was almost completely enclosed and fully automated. Is this an ignorant oversimplification?

Good luck on the brew. I had a similar circumstance a while ago but have gotten three brews down in three weeks. You will get there!

Robobrew owner (and automation engineer) here and “fully automated” is a bit in the eye of the beholder. You can program in a step mash schedule, but there are manual steps for removing malt pipe and sparge (if you do so). There is a pump on some models but still a manual switch to run.

I consider it semi-automated. It makes fine beer and works well with how I brew. Definitely not ignorant or an oversimplification.
