Hey guys, I'm giving this a shot tomorrow afternoon, have bought all of my ingredients and am ready to get busy. I'm using the exact recipe in the first post, also with the S05. I just built a new mash tun out of an igloo cooler so i'll be busting my cherry on the mash tun and smash beers in...

Not to mention painting cabinet doors is a pain the arse. But personally my 2 year old would use your dishes as target practice. Not sure if you have kids or plan to but something to consider.

I'm on my 2nd AG batch and I'm trying to hit 154 as my mash temp, in some areas of the cooler it's right there, others it's 158, others it's 148-150, I've stirred a decent amount and dont want to F up my braid at the bottom by stirring more. I'm not really going to sweat it this time, but i do...

Is this still available?

Heeding your advice I may do the Coldwater first and wait and do the Brown the following weekend. The only reason I was going for two is that wifey is going out of town so I'd have the whole day to dork out and brew. I'll be sure to post pics, thanks to all!

I've helped my padre with a few AG brews, but this month I'm buying the equipment and doing my first solo venture. I'm going to brew two batches in one day, probably one after another. I'm not trying to juggle too much at once and doing them at the same time. Here's what I'm planning to brew...
