Hi All,
I've done a several batches of extract brew and have moved on to all-grain brewing. I've knocked out two batches so far with minimal issues (except efficiency...practice makes perfect I guess). However, it's rough for me to dedicate a full day to the hobby over the weekend and still get all of that "adult-stuff" done.
I've done some reading this evening on breaking out the all-grain brew process into two days. It appears this is doable and may folks out there have mentioned they've tried this with great success.
Here's my plan:
- Conduct the lauter/sparge
- Transfer to the brew kettle
- Bring the wort up to 160 and hold for 30 seconds
- Leave the wort (now theoretically pasteurized) in the brew kettle, wrap in a towel to "insulate" it and leave until the following evening
- The following evening - boil as usual!
Anyone have any comments? Anyone with success in this process? Anyone have this turn horribly wrong on them?
Thanks in advance!
