The figures would be different if it was a party gyled brew.
On with the brew day

The grist

The chicken carcass

Soaking in WOW

Having had a stuck mash some rather muddy first wort going into the copper

The Lunga hop pellets

Draff

Boiling wort

Gyled??? :wha:
You mean you don't know!
Oh, 'athon, I've always looked to you as one of the more knowledgeable members.

Immersion chiller and protofloc added

Using the pump to re circulate the wort to assist cooling and clarity

Slightly out of focus but nice and clear

Cold break material

Pumping the wort into the FV to aerate

SG bang on the money at SG 1.054

Even with the muddy first wort we end up with nice clear and shiny bitter wort

Two very well aerated fv's

A packet of SO4 pitched into each FV

Around 22l in each FV

More to be posted as and when :thumb:

Excellent.

Now then all sing along together to the tune of "The sun has got his hat on"

"O Tubbys got His Cock out
Hip Hip Hip Hooray
We will sample when were camping
Cos his Cocks the one they Say" :thumb:

Ok it's fermenting well

The chicken left a hole in the yeast head when it was added

But it soon healed up

In fact I think it looks more dense :)

 

[rickthebrew]

Looking good Tubby :

 

[leedsbrew]

now I really HAVE to get my **** down to the camping weekend if that's being sampled!

 

[hypnoticmonkey]

I've just come to the end of this thread and it feels like reading a novel and having the last 50 pages cut out!

What was the comparison like?!
