Thats right folks! Does Not Know Brewery has opened in my backyard in lovely, chilly, windy Bethesda, MD this morning.
I started brewing my first batch of beer this morning on the newsed rig I got earlier this week. I started out with a Brewers Best Wheat Beer. I'm using a different yeast to give it a more German/European styling than american. The wort smells great and only has about 20 minutes left. So here is my log:
Start around 1pm
2 Gals Distilled Water in Wort/Brew Pot
2 Cans of Muntons Wheat LME (1.5 Kg)
1 OZ Mt Hood Bittering Hops at 5.2% (28.35g)
Boil for 55 Minutes
1/2 OZ Mt Hood Finishing Hops at (5.2%) (14.17g)
Boil for 5 Minutes
The submersible wort cooler will go in at 15 mins total left, and will be hooked to my outside cold water line, which is FREEZING cold. Probably 40 Degrees.
Chill to 70 Degrees.
Siphon to Carboy through filtered funnel to remove and trub.
At 70 Degrees Take Original Gravity Reading
Original Gravity Reading: 1.044 - 1.041's
Fermentor Temp: 59-61 degrees.
Primary Fermentation Started 3:15 PM (Yeast added)
1 Packet Safbrew WB-06 - Dry Wheat Beer Yeast (11.5g)
Pitch yeast directly to wort in fermenter and agitate
Damn it smells good in my basement.
Siphoning could really use to be a 2 person job. Or a better anti-trub tip on the siphon!

Yea! Hope it turns out good. Glad Rob was able to help out Rob, ha.
Cheers man, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. It's a bit cold in my basement so I wrapped the carboy in my wife's ski jacket!
