I noticed that rule too. I crack the grain almost as the first thing, sometimes even the night before, so that's fairly dangerous all in all...

Go well! Stuff up everything you like, until temp drops below 70C. Then let sanitation be perfect. That way you'll avoid what I encountered - a wonderful first AG, except for the infected taste.

Yep Ross is right - less POR and you'll be able to drink it sooner. Otherwise you might have to sit on it for some cellartime as it is until it mellows (unless you're gunning for it to be really bitter). POR has some kick.

yeah ive been thinking about backing off the POR slightly. no worries about it mellowing as its a lager so it will have heaps of time lagering. although the kick of those hops is why i dropped the last addition of nugget. too much for an aussie style lager.
providing it is a cracker, one keg is mine to drink and the other is for the Vic xmas case swap.
im all good with the processes, so as Fents said its more of a rig christening and establishing the specs of the rig for promash.

Well ok, CM2 can wait till mash in for his first go at AG, but it's at grain cracking after that... and not a minute earlier...

Good luck. I had no idea you hadn't done one before (solo that is).

Sounds great. Once you get into the swing of things just try a brew with one single addition of 20g Superpride added at beginning of boil and nothing else. The eventual hop in the beer will raise your eyebrows, ditto with a Sparkling Ale clone.
Clever little hop.
Have fun :icon_cheers:
