False Start

Post by Burner » Mon Aug 27, 2007 8:25 pm

It was all systems go this morning - Lovely day, ingredients weighed out, cat fed it couldn't be better for my first run at AG. Heated up the mash liquor started running it into my home made cool box mash tun, which I'd previously test filled with water to make sure it didn't leak - Oops it's leaking. Fortunately I noticed it before adding the malt, there must have been a crack somewhere that held until expanded by the heat. Never mind - Straight onto H&G to order a pro job. Hops in the freezer till next weekend :)
