Congrats Rob...Welcome to the dark side.
Once you taste this beer you will know why people do AG brewing.
I did my first AG Wheat beer today.
Hit all temps and got 24 litres into the No Chill Cube.Didnt use rice hulls and didnt get a stuck sparge. Beerbelly falsie works a treat.

Wort is now into the fermenter. I used the nochill method overnight. My first AG went well apart from not hitting the final volume into the fermenter. I fell 6ltrs short with an OG of 1.059 when i was after 1.050. I have changed a few things in beersmith so my next brew i should hit the volumes better. Now i got to wait till i can give it a taste test.

Cheers
Rob
