My first All grain recipe was an IPA. I don't think I will ever brew any other way again. I was really impressed at how smooth everything went.
Ribs and butt on the smoker and at temp.
my workstation setup. boiling my mash water. 10 gallon homedepot cooler for mash/lauter tun.
After the mashing time is up I drain off the wart and dump it back in. I did this until the wort was clear. This took just about 6 quarts. I was pretty busy during all of this so the not a lot of picts. I will work on that next time.
I have a 5 gallon cooler that had 170 degree water. I brought to temp and put in the cooler while mashing.
Then we tried fly sparging. Next time I will have a better setup but this worked.
Just let the water out over the grains.
Pork butt 170deg. Gonna wrap and take to 200.
Some ABTs to snack on while boiling my soon to be IPA
Hops for the brew. Columbus for 60 mins. Centennial for 15. Falconer's Flight at 5 mins. Citra at 0 mins.
I am excited about the addition of Falconer's Flight which smelled great!
Boiling the wort. What great smell in the air. The BBQ and the boiling beer. Ummm.
The chiller is a must have. After using that for the first time. I got my temp from 200 to 70 in around 15 mins. I borrowed this one from a friend but I will be making one in the next week or so. I will post the build. There is a pump in the bottom of the bucket. I filled with about 6 inches of water and then used three bags of ice.
Thanks for looking.
I got the recipe for this IPA from Brewing classic styles. Hoppiness is an IPA

I did change the hops and the mashing/sparging that was called for, but I think it is going to be great. I tasted it pretty much at every step.
Can't wait. Thanks for looking.
