The yeast is pitched in and its time for clearing down.

A few final pics:

My wort chiller doing its thing! Took it down from 80c to 27c in a little over 25 minutes.



The wort run off into a FV


The Trub and spent hops



I have really enjoyed today (despite the weather). My first All Grain beer, and it feels great

I really could not have done it without this forum, and Jim's tutorials. So thanks guys

Nice one Effigy, should go down well once it's done

Looking good! Quick question, did you sterilise your cooler before putting it in at the end of the boil? It is easier just to whack it in about 15 mins before the end of the boil in order to sterilise it, just one less thing to have to sanitise manually!

Ah right, cool! Very impressed with your first attempt, as you probably have found, preparation preparation preparation is the key to making a brew day go smoothly. I have 3 AG's under my belt so I am going to try crank it up a notch for the next by looking at water chemistry (my head hurts just thinking about it!)
