I'll confess my error up front, in what was an otherwise straightforward brew. Strike water in tun, about 3/4 of grains stirred in, glanced at clock and see the grain filter and pipes sitting on the side. Quickly emptied the entire tun into the boiler including a couple of washes to go last grains out, fitted filter, whole lot back in, again washing boiler for all grains. Mash temp ended up at around 61c, so lots of topping up with untreated kettle water. What a feckin idiot. Only my 6th AG brew, and I'm almost at a full-house of brewing errors.
This was mashed overnight starting (prob 13.5hrs) at 66.2c (eventually), CRS to 30, Campden tab, bit of gypsum in mash and boil, irish moss last 10mins of boil. Yeast US-05 dry pitch.

So loads of hops for this one.
Did an SNPA clone recently and came out at 7.2% in the end, too much for casual drinking though nice all the same, so aimed for 4.5-5% for this one. Also did not get enough floral notes, and disappointing aroma. Been drinking a lot of Kernel beers recently, some 5AM Saints, and various super-hopped APAs, and really want that strong hop punch, both in the mouth and nose. No real reason for using pellets, just what I had. Not ideal for clarity but will see if can clear out later.

Overshot gravity by a few points, but at least less than normal - hard to predict efficiency accurately with these overnight mashes. Got 20lts at 1.050 - hops stole plenty
Just checked FV, smells good, bubbling slowed down, will rack to 2nd and dry hop at weekend. Fingers crossed
