Wheat Beer - All Grain first attempt

Well since everyone loves my hooch brew'n.

Ingredients:

Wheat Malt, Bel (3.9 EBC)	Grain	2.50 kg
Pale Malt (2 Row) US (3.9 EBC)	Grain	1.00 kg
Munich Malt - 10L (19.7 EBC)	Grain	0.50 kg
Sterling (7.50%)	Hops	28.30 gm
Hefeweizen Ale (White Labs #WLP300)	Yeast	1.00 Pkgs

 

Now I don't have the White Labs yeast because they were out and the hops I swapped for sterling, but its not like anyone who reads this blog knows what the hell I am talking about anyhow so it doesnt mater :D

Here are some pics to get your interest up.

I use my hand to get an idea how much grain we are talking about






WHAT?! Not enough? Need more photos to get an idea?? Fine

How about a cat? That gives some idea of what we are dealing with? And by the way, clean counter tops and a sterile environment are KEY to a good brew.






Your still not getting it?





Uhh thats a lot of grain! Damn










Here are some action shots of the brewing in action






Now I have had endless troubles will cooling the wort (which is what you see in the picture above) from boiling temperature to 24-18C so I can add the yeast and go to bed. How should I tackle this problem? Big friggen ice cubes!

 now THAT is some ice cubes :D  Also that is filtered water ice cubes :D




So plunk they go and BAM I am on my way from 100C down to 24C in no time!


Tasting to be done in a month or so. Maybe another video? For now its time for my beauty sleep.
