15L : 4.33kg
That should be quite a loose mash. About 3.5.
Bloody thing kept sticking on me
Arms got a good workout in stirring it up
Just waiting on it to cool down for a hopstand then transferring to cube
I have bought in some Warminster MO to try a bitter with it. Just doing a taste comparison with my normal base Simpsons GP.
Brewed a lager of sorts on Saturday, went smoothly enough, I just hope it attenuates properly. Also got to try out a couple of small mods I made to the whole process over the holidays (the mill extension and bewzilla temp guage). Both worked out pretty well.
The only real disaster was that my Brewfather inventory said I had 4.5 Whirlfloc tablets left and for the life of me I couldn't find them. So cloudy lager it is.
90.1% Pilsner
4.8% Munich II
2.6% Melanoidin
2.4% Carapils
for OG of 1.048 with a mash of 52 (15mins) - 63 (30mins) - 69 (40mins) - 76 (10 mins)
80 min boil - 7 IBU Magnum 80mins, 9 IBU Hersbrucker 40 mins, 2 IBU Hersbrucker 5 mins.
WHC Hoppin Pils for yeast @ 11C. Hoping for 1.009 to 1.012

I brewed, or rather began to brew, my first ever kombucha today.
Initially the idea was to get a five litre fermentation bucket with a tap but since the 15 litre ones are half the price, it's going to have a huge amount of headspace.
Forgot to take any pics, but I'm sure most of you know what it looks like, a giant slimy scotch pancake floating in a bucket of tea...

A SMASH with Crisp Pale Malt and Jester hops. Yeast is WHC Lax
I'm planning my next brew...kegged the Simply bitter and moved the Simply pale to the fv fridge as its decided to kick off again...probably isomerwhatsisnsme after adding the dry hop. It smells amazing! It's getting a couple of days at 20 then getting crashed to 3 to clear the rocky krausen and hopefully be kegged next week.
Did you taste it Clint
I didnt! Unusual for me really as there's always "bottling" dregs to try..but not this time.
