So i've actually brewed up a one gallon batch (wheat beer) that at first tastes ok then has a nasty after taste. Not sure what went wrong but i'm looking to try a 3 gallon all grain batch. i have a 5 gallon round rubbermaid cooler that's been converted to a mash tun and a 20qt brew pot.

i'm looking at doing an stove top batch and what to try something fairly simple and found this :

I was going to use beersmith to get my proper amounts (grain, water, hops, etc)


Anyone have any feeback or any other simple recipe i can follow? i would love to try a blueberry wheat beer but would rather try something little easier for first brew.

Smash beers are simple and great...2row and your favorite hop.

What kind of beer styles do you enjoy?

For a 5gal apa I like 8lb 2row...2 lbs Vienna. .. 1/2lb crystal 15. Mash at 148f. I hop Mine between 25 ibu - 38 ibu. Adding most of my hops between 15min and flame out. Ferment with us05 at 18c. Then dry hop

was thinking smash is maybe the way to go....how does this look for a 3 gallon?
