Hello All,
So i have gathered most of the equipment necessary to brew all grain beer. I have made a mash tun from a rectangular Coleman Cooler. I have a 9 Gallon brew kettle with thermomter and 3 piece ball valve, 6 gallon plastic bucket and 6 gallon glass carboy. I also have a bunch of misc. items like fermcap, digital thermometer, etc...
I have a few questions before I get started. My mash tun you can see in the picture provided has a about an inch opening and about half-inch wide where the ball valve is. Now when i turn the valve on/off it bends because of this gap. Now im pretty sure this won't be an issue as everything is sealed nicely, but i was wondering if anybody has ran into this, and has a remedy for this issue?
Also, i have calculated a recipe i would like to use if i could get some criticism on.
Strike Water 155F
Mash in at 149F
Target 6gal
Boil: 7gal
OG: 1.061
FG: 1.015
ABV: 6%
Belgian Blonde
-----------------
6lb 2-Row malt
6lb Pils malt
1lb Munich Malt
13oz Victory malt
1.5oz Fuggles hops (60mins)
0.7oz Saaz hops (30mins)
Safbrew S-33 yeast
