Oh yeah, there will be pics, the last brew in the plastic bucket :shock: must be documented

 

[Buzz]

Nice day for a brewday Wez, enjoy

 

[Wez]

Cheers :thumb: Just heating the mash liquor now :grin:

I've got 60L of 1.048 wort collected and coming up to the boil, will be interesting to see what volume and SG I end up with after the boil :hmm:

Target batch size is 46L

 

[Kingfisher]

Sounds like a good un W :thumb:

 

[Wez]

Just steeping the aroma hops, should have this in fermenters by 6pm

 

[Aleman]

I'm sure he said there would be pics :? :wha:

 

[Wez]

:lol: I've been 'snapping' pics will follow later on tonight :thumb:

I've gone back to spinny sparging today after batch sparging, hoping for an improved efficiency -I need to get a stable efficiency - my batch sparge figures have been all over the place :evil: Stopped at 1.020 today.

 

[Wez]

Right, ended up with 45L at 1.056 I'm happy with that

Pics to follow

:grin:

Both FV's bubbling away nicely, unfortunately I think i'm going to have the same 'protofloc floating bread' issues though I think i'll drop these to secondary to try to leave it behind :thumb:

Gr8 pics Wez...lovely dark colour

 

[BrewStew]

i'm keen to see if this protafloc issue springs up again, even with that many hops for a filter as i had this problem with my latest brew which wasted about a gallon of beer :cry:

any ideas of how to fix it? i've thought about collecting the wort through a wine filter or something.

its a shame really because the beer i racked was crystal clear straight out of the fermenter... my clearest yet, and the finished product was 100% crytal polished commercial looking too, without any finings use at all.

 

[Vossy1]

any ideas of how to fix it

Yep, stop using protafloc :lol:
I switched from it to whirlfloc for the same reason.

Nice work Wez
