First all grain

[karloz]

So, this morning I woke up and decided it's time to try all grain. I've been reading and watching videos over the last few weeks on 'how to'.

I bought most the bits I need and built the mash tun today, including spare arm. Tomorrow I plan to make the boil kettle and sort the fridge out (my stc100 has arrived).

My question is, when can I find the recipes? I'm quite picky with what I like.

Any advice is obviously greatly appreciated ☺

Hi Karloz.
Congrats on making the leap to AG. I use Beersmith, they seem to have a good, wide range of recipes, AG & Extract. One site I recently signed up to was Brewgr.com, again they have quite a lot of recipes.
Happy Brewing :thumb:

Beersmith is worth buying just to adjust / make recipes once you get further in.

Wabby is that a new off payment?

My issue is... whenever I make a 'kit' it has the 'homebrew' taste. Is that still there with all grain?

That's reassuring. I've been using the kettle to boil half the water for sparge and boil to save time. I'm assuming that's what urs are for?

Yes its a one of payment for the software. You can pay yearly for the access to premium recipes etc but thats up to you. The software is great. One button scale to scale up/down etc. Free 30 day trial aswell I think to see if you like it.

Homebrew twang completely goes with All Grain.

I'm going to take the elements out and put them in the plastic vessel. Lots of videos on YouTube.

Whether it's the best option. .. I don't know? First attempt. .. Haha

So far i have been doing BIAB's , Extract's and Partial Mashes and all have been quite good to really good,wouldn't go back to doing kits,that however is my personal opinion and others will certainly differ.

****. So I am the only one boiling water with a kettle

Every time I pass a friend a homebrew beer, they give a funny look and move to a 'mass produced' beer. I understand I'm never going to totally remove that, I just want and appreciation of the effort!

If you're considering getting BeerSmith, don't pay the whole price ($28=�£22). I got my licence key from this Swedish homebrew shop, and it ended up under �£15.

No it isn't, your first AG you may make mistakes but dont worry we all do.. you will get them right in the end..

Once you crack AG (which you may do off the bat) you will be surprised what you can do.. I don't mean to dig at other methods but you are cooking from scratch with fresh ingredients it is hard to beat.

A good recipe though is important, what style are you after?

There is a clone recipe in Graham Wheeler's book - brew Your Own British Real Ale. There are copyright issues with posting it up here, I expect.
