For a bit of fun, I'm going to update this brew evening in stages during the evening, because there's a pretty high chance of a cock-up.

I'll have to do it on my blog though, so that I can use the Wordpress app on my iPhone.

Nothing has gone very wrong yet...

Guess what? It all went just fine - sorry about that! 25L at 1.041 and a cunning new answer to filtering those pellets.

But tired now - most of the cleaning can wait!

More photos than you'd ever want to look at, now up. (Had to wait for my lunch hour!)

This smells amazing! Very fruity (in a good way), spicy smells from he fermenter discernable beyond the crazy US-05 yeast head.

This is down to 1.011 already - a point below target - so it will be moving into a secondary later today.

Looking forward to this one.

Tastes okay too... :)
