Since I've been giving the new kit it's first run out today, I thought I'd share a few shots from my day.
I'm giving Bombay IPA a go this time to keep things reasonably simple while I learn the quirks of the new equipment. Things went pretty muchto plan, apart from a few litres more loss than I planned for down to some pipe work 'issues'
So, some pictures...
New HLT, tun & pump ready for action
9.5kg of grain ready to go
Recirculating the mash
Solar pump doing its stuff
First runnings in to the boiler
'Most' of the hops
A good boil
1054'ish
and 38 litres in the fermenter
