My First Mash! Pictures and all!

Great pics. Your MLT is almost identical to mine. Same cooler, same color, even the valve is almost the same.

Flaked or kernal, it's still wheat. And you used 5 pounds for a 3 gallon brew? You would probably need a lot of rice hulls to sparge that much, IMO.

Actually the recipe says its for 5 gal.

GOD,

Nice work. Is this sediment or yeast at the bottom of the carboy?

I am assuming sediment Probably rack to a gal hahahahaha

Do you use a false bottom? How do you connect the false bottom and connector together. Previously mentioned to use high temp tubing... is there other options?

You should definately try an all barley malt beer next time. You'll see, its a breeze

I'm all worked up to try it again already. This time though take a step back and make sure the recipe is as easy as it gets first.

Check this out!

The efficiency has to break records but it looks pretty good (remember this recipe was for 5 galons)

It looks MUCH better now. Makes me want a beer. In fact, I'm going to go get one in a bit....

Well.... how did it turn out?

Last I tried it was like a month ago. The gravity was 70 points and needed some time to mellow... think I'll try another one today see if I like it.... The stout came out much better I believe. Might bottle it tonight
