[QUOTE="The-Engineer-That-Brews, post: 1084142, member: 38863"] OK all brewed and in the FV. I wish I could say everything went smooth as silk, but... [LIST=1] [*]As there was no wheat in the grain bill, I thought I'd be a smarty pants and miss out the 45º beta glucanase rest. BAD IDEA: mash ran really slowly for the first 15mins and I had to throttle the recirculation pump to stop it scavenging [I](note to self: fit pump bypass valve)[/I]. [*]Pre-boil gravity was a few points under so I decided to do an extra-vigorous boil. BAD IDEA: overdid it by a couple of litres and ended up being short on volume and over gravity [*]Decided to start the run-off while collecting more RO to do a bit of liquoring back. Two thirds the way through the run-off I realised I'd forgotten the final hop addition - [B]aaaargh[/B]: OK, stop the runoff, chuck in the final hops; boil up the RO and pour it into the kettle.
