Recipe found on Brew Your Own- https://byo.com/mead/item/3011-alaskan-smoked-porter-clone . Attempted to home smoke my whole grain bill by rigging my gas grill into a charcoal grill using briquettes. Soaked alder chips in water for 30 minutes. Smoked the grain by hovering a window screen over the grill. Had to do this in about 4 separate batches, at an average time of 5 mins per. I think I burned some grain, but won't know until the beer is ready. First time using my new mash tun built from some brass fittings and a Lowes Igloo 10 gallon cooler. Pre heated the mash tun using 153* water for about 15-20 minutes. Using brew365 water calculator I found the strike water volume to be 4.8 gallons @ 165.33*. This temperature was calculated based on a grain temperature of 71*. I found that my mash temperature landed exactly at 153* from start to finish. A continuous sparge was done with 4.5 gallons water @ 167*. Note: Missed Alpha Acids for Chinook hops, guessed @ 13% based on hopunion.com range of 12-14%.
