ok picks

the grains

mash 2 temps from 2 thermometers took the analogue one!

first runnings

hops ready

boil going well

this is where i stopped taking photos, a great down pour made me bring the boiler in, however i cracked a seal on one of the elements. had to transfer to a FV fix the seal and start again!

final collections! 1056 after correction and alot more than i expected at 75% efficiency got to love the overnight mash!!

its not that fast we generally leave in the fermenter 2 weeks then check gravity.
