With all this praise I'll have to give it a go :thumb:
If it's not impolite, who is/was Kenny?

"Big" Kenny was one of my relatives from Glasgow who sadly passed away in September 2007 - I came up with this beer in his memory and it turned out rather well :thumb: The "Big" bit of "Big Kenny" was nothing to do with his size, he has a son also called Kenny so they were known as "Big Kenny" & "Little Kenny"

Give it a try I really like it :grin:

Mash started at 19:20, sparge water heating at the moment. 66.5c mash. Planning on collecting wort to required sugar points (3055 = 65x47) tonight then diluting down to preboil volume nice and early tomorrow morning and doing the boil.

Hopefully it should prove to be a nice family friendly split brewday :thumb:

No pics, can't be arsed :grin:

 

[A T]

Have fun :thumb:

 

[Wez]

Colleted 47L which equates to 3050 sugar points, that's near enough for me

Will boil tomorrow :thumb:

 

[Wez]

Diluted down to 80L at 1.040 - it's just coming to the boil now :thumb:

 

[Ian]

You're up earlier than me on a Saturday! have a good one :

 

[Wez]

All done :thumb:

Hit target OG bang on 1.047 overshot volume by 4L with a total of 64L in FV's.

I'm delivering 20L of the wort to my mate who brews kits to ferment for himself the 2x FV's that I'm keeping I've used the yeast cake from 'Twin Rhombus' which I kegged while this brew was cooling, I split the yeast cake between the 2 FV's Should get off to a flier hopefully :grin:

 

[A T]

Another successful brew and trying to spread the good word :clap:

 

[Wez]

Yep :grin: pretty sure he'll like it, I have saved my 5 gallon kit for him for when he's ready
