I brewed this on Friday, the brewday went great until i tried to sterilise the GPHE (first time using it) and it started to leak :evil: I took it apart and found the problem (human error ) and got it fixed. An added bonus was the kitchen floor was sterilised :lol: I cooled 50L of wort in 10 mins and that was throttled back i reckon i could do it in almost half that! I did think there would be more cold break in the boiler but there wasn't much more than usual.

Yea i recirculated to the boiler so i wouldn't have all the cold break in my fermenters :thumb:

This was bottled yesterday and dropped clear in the bottle today :shock: Who said US-O5 doesn't clear. I never tasted it when bottling so i opened a bottle to see and this one is very promising indeed I have another 50 bottles to fill tomorrow, the fact that it's so tasty should make it easier :)
