Mild Ale II - The second of my brews for the http://www.gbhomebrew.co.uk competition, a Mild Ale based on my last Mild so slightly tweaked but hopping remains very similar. It wasn't intended to have Pale Crystal in it but I ran out of Crystal Malt so had to substitute some.

The Mash at 69c:
Hops weighed, small common salt addition to go in the Copper and Protafloc tablet for last 5 mins:
First run-off onto First Wort Hops:
In go the 10 minute hops:
Windsor yeast rehydrated as the packet suggests, using 2 packets as I hear things about Windsor yeast stalling:
Aerated and in the FV:
I forgot to take a OG shot, it was 1040 with the hydrometer, Refractometer said 1038 so near enough either way.
I had 86.5% Mash Efficiency and hit my 69c mash temp.
