Basic recipe for an IPA, I did almost the same a few weeks back it went into a cornie only yesterday. I used Safale U.S-05, and my mash water ratio was: 2.7 L/kg tastes brill when I dropped it in the keg, can't wait for it to be ready.. :

Looks good to me. You might want to consider some flameout hops and dry hopping... Can make a big difference.

All going good so far, just about to start sparging....hops are smelling delicious !!

flame out hops are:
Citra 15g 15mins
Cascade 15 15
Simcoe 15 15

Yea I thought about the mash water ratio had to go with 2.6ltrs/kg due to size of Mash Tun.

That's where I'm lucky the memsahib loves the smell when I have a brew on. She will come out into the outhouse when ever she can just for the hell of it. When she was a nipper she live near a brewery in Reading.
