I was worried about clogging, I've heard this is a problem with the the brewtech conicals (on top of which most of the boil hops may have made it into the fv...). But yes 40 hours was definitely too soon!

Maybe not that then! Interesting link though - even the slightly low ph's seem to have low attenuation.

Glad to hear it's not just me! But thanks that's really helpful, I hadn't considered the mash ph. It did measure a litte low (5.0 mash temp 5.3 room temp) but my ph meter is far from reliable so it could have been worse.
