Now that I have a mash tun out of a 10 gallon Igloo cooler and various bits of hardware I am going to attempt my first all grain batch of beer Tomorrow. I will also be making my first high gravity beer, which means I am making my first yeast starter to breed a couple of million extra yeasties to attack all that sugar. It has the making of a first-rate disaster! This is designed as a La Fin Du Monde clone.

Pictures should be coming soon. The session went well, but I only hit 65% efficiency. The best thing about missing your efficiency on a Belgian Tripel is that it makes a nice Belgian Blonde Ale.
