All Grain Beer
Saturday was beer day.
Earlier in the month we had bought the grains, hops and yeast that we would need to make beer using grains and no extracts. Previously we had made beer using only extracts and thought it would be neat to try it with grains.
On Friday we rented a grain crusher and went to Erin’s parents to crush it outside.
Saturday I got up planned my exact recipe and determined that we could not fit all the grains that we had crushed into my pot. We decided we would then make two batches and put it together in the end to up with the same amount of beer that we had planned on. Making 2 batches of beer takes a long time. Though there is lots of time in between doing things you have to keep an eye on it. I woke up around 7:30 am and it wasn’t until 7:30 pm that we were all done.
