[ozdevil]

Gday All

Well the time has come for me to advance to the next level of brewing... Tommorow i am planning to do my first Partial mash...

i am going to be just doing an irish red ale

grumpys irish red ale master brew
1kg pale malt
60 grams of Tassie Goldings ( flowers)
25 grams " " "

I cant do a big partial mash yet as i still have to aquire some of those Tomato suace buckets you often see people use for fishing and i will only be using a small 6-pack easky

Good luck with it ozdevil. Just realx about the whole procedure.
I just did another one last Sunday.
I did the small mash in a pot on the stove. What I found out by accident is that if the griller is going underneath it holds the temp at a constant. Mine was at 65-67 for an hour. I had been using the griller earlier and had forgotten to turn it off.

cheers

Well Oz,
Doesnt look like any one is going to let you forget the "HOT HAND HOMEBREW",
Dont let 'em put you off mate, go for it!
Good luck and keep us all posted.
Cheers,

Join the club ozdevil, I just did my first partial last night too. It was a bit of a shambles, well not entirely, but there was a lot of room for improvement. Mostly things that will improve with experience I guess, like temperature control and timing. Actually I think the main problem was that I wasn't listening to Led Zeppelin at the time. :lol: I did have a homebrew during the boil though, so I did that right. :chug:

I indeed found out that the boiler gets hot though, good advice. -_-
