Woohoo! Good luck, and remember:

Don't switch your boiler on with no liquid in.
Make sure all taps are "off" before filling.
HAVE FUN! :

Best of luck!

I did this exact same recipe for AG#2 and it was absoulutely amazing, my girlfriends old man tried some with the usual "homebrew trepidation" and said it was better than the real thing, result :thumb:

Have a great day.

So how did it go?

First off, thanks to every body on this site. I would not have done it without you.

I didn't all go to plan. I sparged a bit quick, the hop strainer blocked(it's one of those flexible tap connectors with the middle taken out) and post boil ended up with less than 20litres. It did taste very nice tho. I topped up with bottled water and after 24 hours in the fv it has touched the lid and gone down again.
Overall i'm very pleased to have done my 1st AG brew. I have learnt lots and next time will hopefully go a lot smoother.
I'm having trouble with the pics, but will keep trying.

Many thanks again
