About half an hour into mash.
Very excited as first time using spinny sparge arm - will do some photos if I can lay my hands on the camera.
Also I'm not doing a 'water treatment' this time (except for Campdem tablet). For my other AGs I've follwed wheeler's recommendation of 12g Gypsum and 3g of Epsom salts in 25 ltrs. Noticed slightly harsh bitter flavour in my last finished brew which I'm guessing may be down to excessive Gypsum; anyway, we'll see what happens this time.
Also first using hop pellets (not a choice but all the shop fella had).
Recipe to follow when I've worked out hopping rates
; it made the brew so much easier. I did have to turn it off and on a bit as it went a bit fast at points (I used my second boiler as the HLT), but this was not that much of a hassle. I'll have to get a clamp to adjust the flow through the tubing. Got a marginally better effiency as well (ended up with 1045 instead of 1042 based on a predicted 70% efficiency). May have a think about a false bottom 
to cut back on dead space in the mt.
