Disaster! Well a bit anyway. Hop filter got clogged up instead of cubing very hot wort it trickled out and was just a bit warm by the time it finished. It also smelled strongly of ginger which suggests to me that there were bits of ginger in the hop filter. It's getting steam cleaned!!!

Ps if previous accidents are anything to go by the beer itself will be unrepeatable and awesome!

Gravity test and cheeky tester...wow, the cock up is going to form, tastes phenomenol!

Looks like just the kind of recipe I like. What was your OG? Do you calculate efficiency?

Due to the difficulties I didn't bother. It will have been around 1.050, my technique is pretty consistent. As I've said to you before though taste is the only stat I really care about. If I use 4.5 kg of grain I usually get a beer approaching 5%.
