I all just wanted to share my great experience with my first all grain batch. I did a Boulevard Tank 7 clone.
My basic recipe was 70% pale malt, 20% wheat malt, and 10% corn flakes. I used Magnum, Simcoe, Centennial, and Amarillo.
I did BIAB because I didn't have a mash tun built yet. I used two 5 gallon paint strainer bags since the grain bill was so large, I didn't want to get any dough balls so that's why I used two as one would have been very hard to stir.
My efficiency was good, not great, at 75% which I was happy with for my first attempt. I boiled for an hour and pitched Wyeast 3724. My OG was 1.080.
Woke up this morning to find a pile of foam on top of my airlock so I pulled that out and installed a blowoff tube.
I am very excited about this beer if you can't tell. Thanks to everyone on this forum for all the help. Without your posts I would have not known where to start.
