So Tim, its time to take the bull by the horns, step up and brew this bad boy. Take your notes and reflect. Next brew, brew the same but with the recipe you intended and compare the two. Dont over think it ,it will be awesome and will teach you about the effects of grains on flavour. As far as grain crush goes, well it appears to me that it only effects efficiency.
But dont worry about that today. roll your sleeves up and start brewing .
Good luck and enjoy your brew day. It will be great. cheers mate go hard.

Hard to tell how much it will effect the taste, I wouldnt worry, possibly a touch sweeter, but I dont think you'll notice it much at all.
Milling just make sure all the grains are crushed, if your using a bag the crush can be finer, but you dont need to make it flour, just as long as all the grains are cracked well.
As finroo says , just jump in, its your first time so things may go wrong, they still go wrong for me hahaha but just keep going, it'll make beer! Hopefully be drinkable too, I'm sure it will mate. Cheers!

Hello, Generally recommended that a beer that has an O.G. around 1050 and higher
(1049 in this case) use 2 packs of yeast. If by chance you only have 1 pack then that will be fine. If I was doing a brew with say 1043 then 1 pack . Its a general rule of thumb. Hope this makes sense. Cheers

well done Tim sounds great. Me personally would put it in the house to ferment at 19 to 22c. Cheers

I think what would be perfect, but might be a pain in the butt or too hard, dont wanna drop it or anything.
It would be good to have it at that 14-18c at first, I think the yeast will keep it warm, throw a blanket or jumper on it, but after maybe 4 or 5 days it'll start to lose heat then move it to a warmer spot.
I guess it depends how much you want to nurse it, two packs of yeast should of kick off quick, you may be doing first dry hop tomorrow even, and second dry hop if doing two, would probably be day 5. that yeast activity should be keeping things fairly warm if not in an exposed place. Remember keep the sun light off it what ever your choice
