First, alittle background, I received a craftabrew kit for christmas last yea and brewed an American pale ale and an orange ale (extract kits from craftabrew) I have been making the transition to all grain 5 gal batches....I have the original 3 gal kettle, 30qt pot, thief, hydrometer, auto siphon, 6 gal better bottle, gram scale, tubing, etc just need a mash tun...well I gathered most of the 5 gal stuff at lhbs today and I was researching smash recipes
I came across this http://beersmithrecipes.com/viewrecipe/41168/citra-smash and so I decided since I didn't have a mash tun and was short on cash I'd try to play with it in a one gal batch so id it sucked I only blew $7 and had 10 Beers to choke down so I added 1.5 lbs of Maris otter pale malt, .435 lbs of cara pils 80l (my only change and was supposed to be half a lb) 1 oz of citra hops and us-05 yeast to my shopping list along with a grain bag.
Steeped. All grains for an hr at 152 degrees then followed hop schedule accordingly...had four craft beers during this process...house smells great, wort looks great (currently in ice bath) love it....will update as process progresses...big thank u to the site as I have learned a lot from u guys and gals
