Mashed as usual indoors, as the weather brightened up after sparging I decided to boil outside for a change.I normally brew in the Utility room that has a low ceiling with the door and fanlight window open.This still creates a hell of a lot of steam,so it was nice to not worry about that for change.Although half way through a hastily arranged parasol was needed due to rain.
Sorry only a couple of pics due to several other things on the go at the same time.

Covers on!

Apart from the rain which did'nt last long,everything went well.

Missed my target O.G BY 1 point but won't worry about that.

Looking good this morning,nice brown head formed. :thumb:

Batch primed with D.M.E.

58 bottles nicely tucked up @ room temp for a couple of weeks,then out to the garage for two more.

Quality control demanded a couple of gulps and this is already tasting mighty fine. :thumb:
