Made this a few weeks ago. I was also a little for the mash at first so scooped some out and boiled it doing a pseudo decoction to get to the right temp (153). After the temp correction I went to set up the burner and realized it was crap...had a 2 hr search for new one nearby and ended up having to go to the LHBS. This was my first all grain and use of the tun I built. It took me 3hrs to get back home and the temp had only dropped 3 deg F. Pretty happy about that but was worried it would be too dry. Did make a couple of changes the shop suggested.
For the cara/crystal malts in a 5.5 gal batch I used:
.5lb CaraHells
.5 lb CaraMunich I
.5 lb CaraMunich III
Actually used Wyeast 2007(another shop suggestion, I was skeptical) at 63 deg F (in a water bin w/ice bottles)and this stuff is fantastic. I know I'm not truly lagering but it taste great. Not estery at all and very clean, balanced, great head. Thanks for this recipe! I'll definitely be making this one again. I'm wondering how different it will be with a proper 1 hr mash. I guess I can try that next time to compare.
