Sounds good - enjoy your day

[adm]

Looks good to me. Have a good brewday.

I've got a Guinness clone(ish) on the go right now - currently mashing with about 30 mins left to go.

[bramswell]

only lost 1.2'c over the 90 mins

I've just managed to over mash by 15mins, will this be ok

yes!

lost count of the amount of times I forgot to put the HLT tank on for sparging and had to wait an extra half hour - never done me any noticable harm

[bramswell]

mash finished and running off to the boiler



hops added and a nice rolling boil

[bramswell]

just running off into the FV, it slowed down then stopped, upon checking i found the hop strainer had come off the tap, so with a sanatized had i managed to refit it and got it flowing again, hope its ok.

not putting it down the sink at this point, will hope everything will turn out fine.

[adm]

I've also had to guddle about in the boiler a couple of times now - but neither batch got infected, so hopefully you will be fine.

I think on a brewday, your hands are probably in and out of sanitising solution so much that there is little bacteria left alive. I know that my skin goes dry as hell for a couple of days afterwards because of it.

Looks like you had a nice brewday.

only collected 21lts in the end.@ 1.050 so a brew house efficience of 75.4%, im happy with that

apart from the hop strainer coming adrift all went well.

It's a tradition to drink ale whilst brewing in my house, the only time I didn't the batch got infected
