nice

The method you suggested earlier sounds pretty straightforward; I'm willing to spend a bit of extra time to sparge if it will increase efficiency and get me a better beer.

This is great advice, thank you! Some advice I received on another forum was to only hop the main pot while boiling all 3 at the same time and pouring into the main pot as space becomes available. Thoughts on that approach?

This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you for the help! You mention that with BIAB, sparging is often skipped. What does your process look like if you skip sparging?

Yeah I was hoping for somewhere between 4 and 5 gallons post boil volume. Is it possible to sparge with less than the 4.75 gallons and still achieve the same result? As it stands, I plan on boiling the wort in the 5 gallon pot along with a 2 gallon pot and an addition 1 gallon pot if needed.

157 sounds about right, I'll aim somewhere around there so that I can hit just above 150. As for the amount of water, how much would you suggest?

Ahh good call. Will be sure to check that before I start. Thanks!

No, I don't think it mentions a mash temperature. But most videos of all-grain hefeweizens that I've watched seem to aim for roughly 155F for single infusion or 110 for step. Any suggestions/things I should look out for to increase my chances of making something good?

Hi, I've done a few beer/cider recipes using kits and l'm planning on doing my first all-grain brew this week but I'm feeling pretty lost. I apologize if this is in the wrong section, please let me know if I should post this elsewhere. I am planning on doing this recipe: Cherry Hefeweizen -...

I only intend to brew once or twiice which is why I just wanna go with the kit. In non-brewing terms, what do I have to so? I'm sorry but I did not understand most of what you said. If I go with mr beer, can I ferment it in the keg it comes in? If not what do I use? Thanks

I would just much rather the kit as it seems like a much simpler, easier way of brewing, I don't know anything on this topic though so I may be wrong. How much work would it be for me to brew one 2 gallon batch of beer from the mrbeer kit?

Hey guys I'm going to start brewing soon. I was looking at the second cheapest kit on mrbeer.com, and was wondering if that's worth buying? Also I was wondering how I'd go from the beer that comes with the kit to brewing name brand ones along with fruit beers etc? Thanks for the help in advance
