This past weekend I did my first home brew and started with 5 gallons of Bavarian Hefeweizen from Northern Brewer. I did invest in an immersion wort chiller before starting and got a faucet converter from Home Depot so I could hook the wort chiller to the kitchen sink. Overall took maybe 10 mins to cool the 2.5 gallon partial boil down to 68 degrees. Highly recommend using that instead of ever doing an ice bath. I didn’t take any gravity readings just wanted to focus on the cook and trust that if I followed directions it should turn out ok. It’s about 32 hours after pitching the yeast and so far everything looks ok.
