Hi everyone,
I'm finally stepping up to AG I've been planning and rounding up equipment for ages, and late this week my new Robinox 50L Aluminium stock pot will be arriving to complete my kit I'm doing BIAB, mainly because I'm a bit poor (uni student ), but also because it looks like a great starting point. I want to buy the grain for my first 2 recipes in one lot, the idea is to save money. Will is actually save me any money if I buy it from CraftBrewer online? It's just I live in WA and was hoping by doing this I might save on postage.
For my first recipe I was planning to do "Skunk Fart XLCR" by jayse, since it seems simple enough, and I've read some good reviews. Doing this as a BIAB is there anything I need to be aware of?
I was planning a something along the lines of this for my second brew, since I love a good, clean pilsner. In the recipe it mentions a protein rest, I've looked it up but still don't really get what that is. Could someone explain please?
Also, is it worth adding Whirlfloc tablets?
Anyway, apart from that I'm just looking for comments and hints, ie. are these ok recipes for a first brew? Is there anything I might need to be aware of?
I'm getting amped for the weekend
Thanks,
Chad
