Ive Been extract brewing for a few months now and found most kits to be wanting, so we tried a partial grain kit and even tho it didn't set my world on fire i saw the light in as much as how much flavour we can get. The answer was all grain. so we knocked up a kind of braumister clone, and tried our first brew. These were the numbers we used so any feed back would be great. Also i will get some photo's of the rig for any that are interested.
This is our brew numbers.
Style: American amber ale
Boil time:60 mins
Steep time 90mins
Batch size:37 Litres (9.7 gallons)
Boil size:28.5 litres (7.5 gallons)
Efficiency : 64% ( We had pump failure on the rig )
Og: 1.046 Fg 1.013 (we are aiming for this)
IBU: 43.5

6.32 kg (13.9 lbs) American-pale 2 row
1.58kg (3.47lbs) American wheat

Hops:
60g cascade 60mins
40g cascade 15mins
