First All Grain batch tomorrow.....wish me luck

[Teufelhunde]

Been brewing extracts for a couple of years and was thinking about going all grain when I found a smokin' deal on a Brewzilla 3.1.1. I've spent a couple of weeks using up all my extracts and piecing together a few things I didn't have to be able to do the all grain. Tomorrow is the first run. Got everything out on the patio now with the Brewzilla set to come on at about 5:30 tomorrow morning to start heating the strike water. I hope to be mashing in by 6:30 or so.

Wish me luck....I'm looking forward to this....

Good luck! Make sure you turn the switches on! I forgot the first time and was so disappointed when I woke up and water was cold!

Yep, switches are on, but when I re-checked the step setting, I had them AFU. I think I have them good now....

Good luck! That’s a little early to enjoy a cold one while you’re brewing though!

 

[Big_D]

Oh.. and if you’ve been brewing extract for a couple years, can’t imagine you’ll have any issues. I started all grain, it’s definitely not that difficult with all the info out there.

Good luck, ill be brewing my first AG batch Monday.

When the frost is on the pumpkin?

A little later than intended, but finally going to make my Maibock this evening.

Good luck! That’s a little early to enjoy a cold one while you’re brewing though!

I call total blasphemy!!! What is this thing you call "too early to have a cold 1" when brewing??? That's like saying you shouldn't stretch before exercising!

True.. very true!

Nothing like a good breakfast ale (or stout)!

 

[lumpher]

Breakfast Stout... gots to order that clone next. I love Founders Breakfast Stout.

Nope. I dont consume until the boil starts. Too many errors.

Yep, I'm kinda the odd man out here. I brew in the morning, and very seldom ever crack a beer before dinner.....

 

[Big_D]

Nope. I dont consume until the boil starts. Too many errors.

Unfortunately, there’s still errors that can be made post boil!

 

[Bobby_M]

Unfortunately, there’s still errors that can be made post boil!

yeah, but I don't get sloppy drunk from having one pint during the boil.

 

[Oleson M.D.]

Good luck.
