Tomorrow will be kind of bittersweet for me. I am getting laid off for three weeks but at the same time it will give me so much time to do many things I don't usually get to do during the week. Hang out with my daughter, hang out on the couch and do nothing, make beer. I am excited about all the possibilities and tomorrow starts the journey. I am going to delve into all grain brewing for the first time with a California Common (like Anchor Steam). I am so juiced. I have my cooler mash tun ready to go with no leaks and plenty of test rounds to clean out the plastic smell. I am hoping for 68-72% efficiency which would put me right around a 1.050 original gravity. This is kind of a redux of my extract Common but this time I will have dextrose on hand to carb it. My first attempt at this style produced a really good but almost champagne like beer because I used cane sugar to carb it.
I will let you know how everything goes. That includes my hang time alone and with my baby girl
