I had to substitute some of the malts and change the hops so here is what I came up with.
had to use grains thet my local brew shop had in stock

Brew day got off to a good start with a visit to BarleyBottom shop my local shop for a 25 kg bag of Marris Otter
and the other malts for the brew .
I should have switched on the boiler before I went out so delayed the brew a tad .
Switched on and added half a camden tab it takes about an hour for my HLT to get up near mash temp
so had time to weigh the grains out and warm up the Tun .
This is where I discovered water had got between the layers of the cool box tun due to a crack caused by it freezing while full of water the crack is not inside so it was watertight for the mash
Went ahead and mashed and hit 66.5c from 75c hlt so pretty pleased covered her up and went to make a sparge device
as had no tin foil in the house this is my emergency sparge device.
It worked quite well :thumb: apart from bits blocked up the holes when recirculating the first runnings
Mash temp had dropped to 64 over 90 mins which I put down to the bad insulating properties of the water between the 2 skins of the tun so need to make a new tun for the next brew.
I got a bit carried away with the sparge and over shot the quantity in the boiler which meant after the boil I had 3 litres of 1062 wort left over and I should have hit 1073
my plan is to boil off some of the water in the surplus and add it to the FV when the Krausen dies down so may get the OG I should have started with .
While the boil was getting underway I bodged up a couple of fans to remove the steam and spread the aroma all round the neighbours gardens .
All in with the wife out shopping I had a very nice day tinkering in the shed .
on there the Evil Twin beer .
