That'll be four of us with dirty minds then.

I read about this somewhere ( I can't remember exactly where though :wha: ), the theory went along the lines that leaf hops are a very inefficient way of getting the goodies into the beer so blend them in a little water or beer first. It makes sense though I'm not sure how you're meant to get...

East Kent PA,Citra III, Chinook ESB and todays American Red = another 35 gallons. Total 5493

Quite likely, they're 7/8 AF. though I believe 22mm fit.

I said no because I've had them leak from there with an o ring. It's possible I suppose, whip it off and have a look, or just change them anyway.

Simple answer, No.

Look at that!

Quite, only a litre short (all those hops!) and no brewday disasters. Now to clean up. Oh and I've just pitched the yeast. Whitelabs 051 as I want malt as well as hops in this one.

A smudge under 39 litres at 1.046. I was hoping for slightly more red, but it certainly tastes hoppy.

Pinching the end of the hose while pumping aereates nicely

Lunch eaten and 2 fv's cleaned and star san'd. Wort is just under 20.

OK, the hops have had half an hour to steep so the cooler is back on while I sort out some lunch.

There are ways to work it out, but I'm afraid I rely on software. As well as beersmith, brewmate is worth a look, and it's free.

Oh yes, it also allows me to pump the wort into the fermenter rather than gravity drain.

Cold water from the mains run through the cooler, the pump recirculates the wort... basically I'm too lazy to stand there and stir it while it cools! :D

Down to 80 in a little over 2 minutes. Steeping hops added, hop soup anyone?

Elements off and cooler on

More citra!

10 minutes left, first lot of citra

Getting busy now, 2nd lot of chinook and Protafloc go in
