I will soon be doing my first mashing. I have put in the info into beer smith for the beer i want to make and chose Single Infusion, Medium Body, No Mash out This is what it gave me. I am planning to heat the water and add it to a 3 Gallon Rubbermaid Water cooler with a grain bag then add the grains to the bag in the hot water stir a bit and cover to help maintain the temp.
Step Time 60 min
