I'm just a few days away from doing my first all grain brew and have some questions to just to make sure that this is going to be the best possible brew that I can. I'm brewing a 5 gall. whit beer, going for Gelgian but not sure if it will come out that way because of my hop selection (centennial) but am going to go with it any way since this is all that I have. I'm using a 9.5 gal. pot and a 10 gal. custom Rubbermaid mashing ton.
Ingredients: white wheat 5 lbs. , 2 row 2.75 lbs., .5 lbs oats, and 2.75 lbs. unmalted wheat. will give a 30 min. protein rest at 122* raise the temp to 148*-150* and mash in at that for another hour.
how do I drain as quickly as possible after the protein rest, and do I have to mash out with this recipe?
Do I have to have a lid for my kettle while boiling with hops? will aroma and bittering suffer without this piece?
Also to cool my wort I will be using 1 gal frozen water jugs, how has this worked for anyone with this kind of experience, and would you recommend this method?
I am hopind to pics and will post after complete. Thanks for any help.
