nice , get it bottled , it will be ready by xmas , 2 weeks in warmth then drink as soon as cold (yes this early for a wit beer) i would use around 150g sugar for 23l (wits wants lots of fizz)

Well done D, an excellent start, I also use the CFC, fine bit of kit!

provided the gravity of the runnings doesn't fall below 0.990

Enlightenment please Dave.
If you sparge with water at 1.000, how can the runnings go less than this? :wha: :wha:

Thanks! My CFC needs refinement, not the prettiest but it works excellently!

From memory .990 is the sparge temperature adjusted version of 1.008, which is when you should stop sparging for fear of extracting tannins from the grain.

Managed to get 28 x 660 ml bottles filled!

I used one clear bottle so I can see how it looks as it conditions, the rest are brown bottles.
