Time to wet my teeth with my first ALL-GRAIN brew!
I brewed this one (New Flat Ale) on Sunday June 12th, and everything went pretty smooth.

I only encountered a couple of issues with this one:

  • The stove has trouble boiling much more than about 18-19 liters of water at a time.
  • The auto siphon became VERY clogged while trying to siphon out the boiler into the fermenter.
  • The fermenter didn’t fit into the water bath I had prepared for it to control the temperature, so I had to siphon the beer into a second fermenter and use that one instead.
  • Other than those few minor issues, the brew went without a hitch!

    Aaaaaaaaaaaand here are the photos of the brew day!
