Hi Bri all's good this side.The missus got hers a few weeks ago as she's a day care worker for Adults with learning disabilities as well as being severe asthmatic but bar lockdown and cabin fever all good.Im still working and have done all through and an odd brew here and there.
Pity about the trip as it would have been good to meet up and have a few stout haha.
 
yeah m8....its a strange times we are living through.
Chuffed your lass had her jab, OMG one of the hardest jobs eva as a care worker, Proud of her.
Aye, when the Rona get sorted cant wait to get over both south n north.

Morning all,
Up at 05:30 am as usual.
De iced the car🤬
I’ll get picks lata on, as I’m in mash, of a vers.2# NEIPA.
TO BE HONEST AS I DO, vers. 1# was a pain in the but, but learnt from the notes and the tasting.
Seem to from of set didn’t hit the numbers, (ok I don’t worry too much as I can adjust lata on)
Blummin stuck mash and low and below the sparge wasn’t to clever either.
For all grain bill w
Had rice hulls etc and a good mash in etc and slow sparge...seemed a brew day from hell.
At this stage, for ova 40 odd years brewing I wasn’t enjoying it.
Not to get p'd off more, started my version 2# notes with the grains.
Basically upped the wheat and the oats, carapils and carared was adjusted.
Base grains was spot on.
Ph was 5.4, but the SG was way off😩🤬
Found out in a nut shell, the colour needed more hazy, and HOP HEAT was deeing my heed in....it mellowed out.😂🤔
But today, I’m enjoying it pH 5.4, pre boil SG 1.055.
And I’ll look at post volume when I’ve finished sparging.
On a good note lads think I finally got the water treatment spot on.....it’s a godsend using BrewfaTher app.
(Still play we BeerSmith as you do)
Anyways of the check things, first time in a long time I’m doing a 90 mash and 90 min boil, why? Coz I can😂👍👍
Update lata.
Keep safe.
Bri
 
So far..
Lighting 🤬 I wouldn’t care got two tripod light...
Oh well not gan to win any Oscars for my photo n vids.😂

Morn all,
Not a lot on the brewing front,,,,plenty of on line 🧠🤕 'Nearly buying!'
Not enough Money to buy my TOYsasad.
Off to pick up a Co2 tank later, one order of grains etc. on its way.
After the MOT saga, my daughter 16th,new school clothes, new glasses then comes Decorating costsaheadbuttalways something:rolleyes:
Not all gloom tbh.
Eventually decided on a Brewzilla 35l & not upgrade my ol GF.
soooooooooooooo next brew time either Cream Irish Stout Traditional Irish Stout, either or which comes first.
Home alone for 5 days, my prob is (apart from my 🧠) i would love to have two batches in FV's.
Only one Ferm fridge, even though its a tall fridge id have look at not using my SS Brewbuckets & see if two placca fv's will fit (cant remember)
Only way to find out....
watch this space.
