what size is the MT? and that's 6kg grain right? What sparging method are you using

 

[tubby_shaw]

My mash tun is 30ish litres and yes it's just over 6 kg of grain :thumb:
I fly sparge :)

 

[retourrbx]

is it the same size as a young's fermenter or bigger?

It's an old Brewmaker brew bucket :thumb:
It started off life like this

Thanks Rick :
On with the brew day,
End of mash, 0.4C temperature loss

The Aurora first wort hops waiting for the first wort

Coming to the boil, so in go the First Gold hops

Start of boil, lots of froth :shock:

A good rolling boil

 

[tubby_shaw]

Last of the brewday.
In go the 30 minute First Gold

The Bobeks, sugar and Protafloc

In they go along with the chiller for the last 15 minutes of the boil

First gravity reading 1.042 @ 22C

Dropping into the FV

Dark Crystal malt certainly has an effect on the colour :lol: Nice and clear wort though

All done and dusted, yeast pitched and gear cleaned and tidied away I liquored back to get 40 litres at 1.040
