Building Beer Recipes and a 3 Keggle System

General Homebrew Discussion
1

I am a rookie all-grain brewer and have been brewing beer from kits I have purchased on-line. I would like to start creating my own recipes but realize I need much more education on how to do this. Can anyone recommend areas I can explore to teach me how to do this? Books or on-line tutorials will be perfect.

I also currently brew with a 10 gallon igloo cooler as a strike water container and a 10 gallon igloo cooler as a mash tun. I sparge slowly and then empty into my 10 gallon stainless steel brew kettle and heat with propane. I fement with a conical FastFermenter.

I have acquired (3) 15.5 gallon kegs and want to begin using a keggle system with pumps and 220V electric heat. A HERMS or RIMS system would be considered. If anyone could recommend websites etc. that would also help me in this project, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance of any help in these areas.

For a good book on recipe formulation, I suggest Ray Daniels’ book “Designing Great Beers”.
Granted, it’s getting old now, but all the concepts still apply.
