1st 10-gallon batch - a success!!!!

[bob1852]

I was finally able to get my first 2010 brew under my belt, and it also happened to be my first 10-gallon batch (a modified version of BM's Sacred Summit Pale Ale).

Every thing went great. Hit my numbers and volumes and wound up with great conversion efficiency finally (98%), and decent overall efficieny (81%). Seems like I have my conversion efficiency issues worked out finally (maybe it helped that I didn't drink at all during this brew session ).

The Toyota works perfect for my gravity fed system.

23.75 lbs of grain at a 1.25 qt/lb ration just barely fit in my MLT.

I love the set up... and those are impressive numbers btw. I am brewing my first AG tomorrow, a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone. I picked up the recipe from this website. I'll have to see if my Chevy will work as well for the my gravity fed system...ha ha ha...nice.

Everyman should own a truck and cinder blocks. Get ready for more snow this weekend I hear. Oh, great job on the brew as well!

This isn't my usual set-up, but worked out really nice.

yep, more snow Sunday. I'm sick of winter! It's teasing us with spring this week though.

If your kettle was a little squatter that would be my setup to a T. Glad you got good results since I'm doing my first 10 gallon in two weeks. even the same cooler color

Watch the throttle sticking in that Yota. It will throw all your brewing gear in the weeds!
