Grandmaster Brewer
Welp, I'm a solid 3 months and 5 brews into this hobby and I said to myself; it's time! So I picked up a sack of grains and some hops and am heading into my first All-Grain brew this weekend. (This is in addition to my partial-mash Pumpkin Ale I also plan on brewing this weekend...)
Doing a 4-Gallon SMASH with 6 Lbs of Maris Otter and an ounce of Challenger spread out over 3 additions - 50% FWH, 25% at 60 minutes and the other 25% at 30 minutes. Got some WLP007 on the stir plate with the intent on pitching at high krausen tomorrow and fermenting at 65F.
I'm jumping in! Any last words? It looks real light (just under 4 SRM...) but it's a 1.039 with 34 IBUs (0.863 BU/GU) What do you think I can expect out of this one?
