All went fine apart from the PSU on my solar pump decided to not work, swapped for spare pump so i could stir my HLT. The ground water is pretty warm at the moment so cooling took an age and I gave up at 21c.
I'll try not leave it as long before my next brewday, beer stocks are running low!

Preferred watching your diagonal carpentry joints on Twitter - very nice job! There's only so many times you can get excited about a bucket of dry malt :-)

Love the lean-to. A little more complicated than mine but a great place to do brewing! Keeps SWMBO happy as the smells and steam are outside.
