Brewed my first AG batch today, an American IPA. Simple grain bill and single hop beer. The recipe called for 1064 OG and I got 1067-68, which equals about 75-76% total brew house effenciency. I mashed at 153 degrees and lost only 1 degree over an hour with my new MT. I made a 1.2L starter a couple days ago and pitched it at 72 degree wort. I lowered the wort to 64 degrees and the airlock is already going off 4 hours later.
I seriously don't know why I started with extract brewing a year ago. I am amazed at how simple this process was and I can't wait to start building my own recipes. Thanks everybody for helping me get started in AG brewing!!
