Did my first All Grain yesterday. I had the opportunity to watch a few friends and also spent a day brewing at a microbrewery in December, so felt it was time to make the jump.
A bit of a learning curve with all the new equipment and working in my environment. Definitely need to plan things out a bit better next time and get the cellar set up properly, but it went well and I'm pretty happy with the way things turned out in the end. No big show stoppers other than my burner clogging up with the paint that dripped down as it heated up. Would be nice if they had a mention of some type of conditioning of the burners before use.
Anyhow, made a Pale ale, low IBU and high SRM and appears I hit the mark.
Looking forward to the next brewing day!
Cheers,
BB
