Hi,
I have just ordered all of the ingredients for my first homebrew, and I have decided to go with DrSmurto's Golden Ale recipe: http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...&recipe=502. I have read through the notes on the RecipeDB page, but I wondered if anyone might be able to provide some more details, please...
1) What does 'mash in 66, mash out 78' mean?
2) Do I add all grain to my pot together, and into how much water?
3) How long should the grain remain in the water before adding my first hops, and at what temperature should the water/grain mix be?
4) Am I right in thinking I add my first hops 60 min before the end of the "boil", then at 10 min before the end, and at 5 min before, with final hops being dry hopped?
5) At what point do I kill the flame, and leave the contents to steep as opposed to "cook"?
6) I plan to use a 30lt stock pot that I have recently bought, but are there any other items that I might need to purchase before I can get started?
I'll be kegging this; not bottling.
Sorry for all of the questions; thanks for any input
