I'm a couple pieces of equipment away from doing my first all-grain brew and I wanted to make sure I had the basic process down.
I will be using:
-A 48qt Cooler MLT that I built using a CPVC manifold
-A 5 gallon stainless steel kettle to use as a HLT
-A 25' copper immersion chiller
I will be purchasing:
-A propane burner
-A 10-15 gallon stainless kettle to use for the boil
As far as I understand it, I will do the following:
-Heat up strike water in my BK
-Dump it in my cooler and then add the grains
-Let it mash - while heating sparge water in the 5 gallon kettle
-Finish the mash (I plan on batch sparging)
-Transfer wort from MLT to the BK
-Boil as per usual
-Chill, transfer, then pitch
Is that it? Am I missing anything or planning something incorrectly?
Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated!
