My first all-grain, so let’s see how this goes.

Fermentables:
Munich Malt Type 2 (20-25 EBC, Weyermann): 5kg
Pale Ale Malt: 1kg

Mash:
20 L at 67 C for 65 min.

Sparkle with 5 L at 75 C (Note: more sparkle water next time)

Hops:
Saaz 3% alpha: 60 gr for 90 min.
Saaz 3% alpha: 20 gr for 60 min. (*)
Saaz 3% alpha: 20 gr for 5 min.

) I found out there is a temperature dependend fuse int he power chord I was using which turned itself off which made the temperature drop to 65 C. I therefore gave it 30 min. extra,
although the worth made it to cooking temperature after.
