The huge great pot of boiling wort can't help matters either. It looks like you've pretty much got it in the bag now

Looks like a brew.

I do love a good brew night - I usually get SWMBO to turn the boiler on as I leave the office. That way I can get all doughed for before 5pm. Infact I might do one tomorrow.

I now have 25 litres of water in the HLT and SWMBO is going to switch on after the school run. Hope my brew goes as smooth as your own.

now that would be the perfect woman

finaly drawn it off ;

and added the yeast starter ;

although i was a little worried at how quickly teh foam was subsiding

usually its been a little thicker and longer lasting than that . paranoia is setting in already

Good stuff. I always worry after I pitch the yeast but it always comes good in the end. Its amazing how quickly the yeast take charge of the situation and don't let the baddies get a foot hold.
