Just brewed this today:
It came out at 1.040 which is lower than I wanted, but will add more malt next time, shouldn't have tried to extract as much wort from the mash as I did.
5 kg marris otter
300g crystal - 60ebc
52g Fuggle – 5.8% AA – 34.5 IBU – 60 min
13g Fuggle – 5.8% AA – 2.6 IBU – 10 min
60 minute boil, 2 hour mash.
Obtained around 27l I think from the mash, which was probably a bit too much
Some piccys:
All in the fridge now This is the first time using the fridge to ferment in, fingers crossed it goes ok.

Re: Simple bitter
The element in your peco looks charred. Could have scorched the wort...

Yeah it's gone black, I've used a copper scourer on it and used citric, so it's as clean as I could make it alas.
At some point I'm going to switch to LWD or induction.
