Nottingham Yeast dry sprinkled, I wasn't as nice to my yeast today but its pretty well over pitched so should be OK
The wort was bright and straw coloured and has a good bitterness already :twisted: and my OG was 1047 rather than the planned 1051 which was probably due to me over-estimating the amount of wort the hops would hold, I usually go for 3L for losses to Hops & Trub but I went for 4L today.
Mash and batch Sparge both went well though I think my extra litre didn't help my efficiency which was down to just over 70%, my liquor was treated to the GW Calc Dry Pale Ale profile so I didn't do my semi-usual 5g Gypsum in with the grist.

I'm going to be so glad when I've got a garage and room and I don't have to mess up the kitchen!
 
Just wait 'til I have a garage and can build a brewery stand, the pics will get better! ;)
 
I see you have kept your finger's out of shot this time (was it something I said?)
I believe you now it's not the same mash temp photo over and over, your just good at hitting the temp! :D
Looking good, can't wait to see the brewstand photo's :thumb:
