I have a few brews under my belt, mostly from kits and a couple just
made up. I would really like to do a simple all grain beer this time.
Can any one point me to a good book or post a recipe here? I am in the
US, so standard measures are appreciated.

What, I wonder, do you think is 'standard' about US measures?

How about an English Standard/Ordinary Bitter?


Maris Otter 9.0 Pounds Mash
Simpson's Medium Crystal 60L 0.50 Pounds Mash
Briess Special Roast 50L 0.25 Pounds Mash
EK Goldings 1.0 Ounce (60 min)
EK Goldings 1.0 Ounce (10 min)
Wyeast 1968 1 Pack

Dough in 104 degrees 14.25 qts. water (grist ratio 1.5 qts/lb)
Mash at 152 degrees for 60 minutes (more if needed for starch conversion [iodine test])
Sparge with 170 degree water to collect 6 gallons of wort (pre-boil)
Ferment at 68 degrees

My SG was 1.040 (post boil, as put into the fermenter)
Ending gravity was 1.012
ABV 3.7%

I used bottled Spring water for mashing and sparging.

Scott

I suppose American standard would have been more PC. :-)

What about equipment? Clearly I would need something a little different
to do the mash correct? I saw an "Standard Easymasher" and it looks
like I could add that to a kettle or cooler. Would I want to do my mash
in a kettle, dump that in a cooler specifically set aside for sparging?

It would take we waaaay to long to explain and I might even screw it up :)

Here is a site that will get you through a typical all grain batch. I
highly recommend John Palmer's book "How To Brew"...in fact, I use it as
my "Bible" when teaching others. Good luck!!

Charlie Papazian wrote a great book, 'The Complete Joy of Homebrewing' available at your local (or online) book store. In it he describes
how to modify existing equipment (5 gal bucket for example) to create
a lauter tun. My first all grain batch occured by accident (I didn't
realize that I'd bought grains rather than extract). Using the
information in his book I modified the stuff I had lying around the
house from my original brew kit to brew my first all grain.

There's an excellent book of 641 recipes available online.
Go to my blog, http://home-brewers.blogspot.com and i have the link
available there, under "online Resources". I don't remember it off
hand.
I personally use at least 25 recipes in there -- the possibilities are absolutely endless.

The blog address came up dead for me. Is there another place to find
the recipes?
