Day went well enough also did some gardening while the mash and boil was on.. Im getting good at this

Any way on with the pron

Heating the water up

Grain Bill

Check the temp

Mash on

First runnings and all the way through to about 6th runnings it was full of bits

Fill the boiler

First set of hops weighed out

Hops thrown in while running off from batch sparge

Nice rolling boil

Did the first part of the side bit of drive while mash was on

Grab some boiling wort after 30 min for starter

and finished it off while boiling

Cooler late hops and worflic in 15 min to go

Fermenter filling

Oops a little high on the gravity best bung a litre or two of boiled cooled water in it 1060 :shock:

Yuck shot Trub

I managed to mess up with my water quantities some how and fell 2 litres short so the water top up was required which droped the gravity to 1055 which is aceptable.
