This was my first attempt at an all-grain ale. I was rather pleased with the outcome as I have only ever brewed from kits using extracts.

Next I am going to try to put together an all-grain holiday ale to share with the family.

Here is the recipe I built using Brewtarget

Final Batch Sparge Infusion 4.000 gal 175.000 F, Target 165.000 F 15.000 min


================================================================================
0) Add 7.500 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) UK, 3.500 lb Maris Otter (GB), 1.250 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L, 8.000 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 10L, to the mash tun.

1) Bring 4.000 gal water to 170.000 F, 4.000 gal water to 175.000 F for upcoming infusions.

2) Add 4.000 gal water at 170.000 F to mash to bring it to 154.000 F. Hold for 60.000 min. Drain first runnings to boil kettle.

3) Add 4.000 gal water at 175.000 F Hold for 15.000 min. Drain into boil kettle.

4) Bring the wort to a boil and hold for 60.000 min.

9) Put 0.500 oz Tettnang into boil for 10.000 min.
Also add 1/2 cup honey at this time.

10) Stop boiling the wort.

The final volume in the primary is 5.092 gal.
