Doing this one today. Slight variation on one I did last year with just a tweak to the grain bill (less Chocolate malt but now with some Extra Dark crystal)

All done. Another OG miss - finished up at 1054 but 1.5 litres over on volume. On recent brews I seem to be alternating between over-volume / under-gravity and under-volume / over-gravity.

Overall hassle free brew day with probably the lowest amount of spillage I've ever managed!
