All in all a pretty good brew day using the new brewery, I only had one real mishap where I had forgotten to tighten a hose clip, luckily I was only pumping water :grin:

Just answer me one question though..........Why do you polish your hops? :whistle:

I think you will be well pleased with your setup. :thumb:
