My First All-grain Brew Session
by twitt on Sun Dec 28, 2008 10:54 pm
This is my first all-grain batch... I bought un-milled malt in the hopes I could pick up a grain mill the same day, but nobody in 100 miles had them in stock. Ergo, I milled 12lbs of grains by hand, it sucked. Everything else went smooth with the exception of a stuck sparge.

Here's the transfer from primary to secondary. The brew looks pretty cloudy. It could be due to a) lack of irish moss in recipe or b) due to stuck sparge problems (we ended up manually screening the mash
