I just finished cleaning up after my first all grain batch (did BIAB with my new turkey frier), and everything went great. I was expecting around 1.040 to 1.045 and my wort in the fermenter was 1.041ish! My mash temperature was a bit uncontrolled so I was worried. Accidentally overshot the strike temp and mashed starting at 156ish, dropped to 152ish by the end of the hour.
Because SWMBO made my move to all grain possible, I told her she could pick our first AG batch. She told me she wanted something light and low calorie, and I mentioned in passing that BMC beers often used rice. She went running off and got 6lbs of Briess 2-row from the LHBS, picked up 4 boxes of instant rice at 14oz each (3.5lbs), 1oz of Cascade (it's the only hop she remembers and loves), and a packet of Nottingham because she heard me talking about it weeks ago. I was a bit hesitant as I didn't think it would turn out well, but I had promised her so with her help we did it all to her plan!
Does anybody have any thoughts or comments about the recipe? (And no, I don't care if you think it's stupid or a waste of time to brew a beer like that). How will it turn out? I'm expecting fairly little flavor, not very bitter, etc. I'm eager to see how it tastes!
Thanks
