New setup - first brew!

[ManseMasher]

Nice rolling boil and good hot break.

[ManseMasher]

Flameout 1610, waiting until it hits 80°c before adding next lot of hops. Challenger smelt a bit cheesy, so it is going to be Fuggles instead, with Bobek as the dry hop....

[ManseMasher]

Job done. SG 1045 so pretty close. All wrapped up nice and warm (well, 18°c) in brewfridge #2! A long day, but went smoothly enough. Cheers all!

[Clibit]

Congratulations.

wow 12 hr brewday, but it looks really good time for a beer!

[ManseMasher]

36 hours in and no airlock activity. Given the lid of the fermenator is clamped on, and I could smell fermentation, there had to be a leak. There is a corney type hatch in the lid, so I reseated it. Airlock nearly blew out and is now bubbling like mad

Every day is a school day!

Puts my first brew day on my peco boiler (also on the 17th) to shame. Glad your brew day went well too.

Wow that's some setup you got there!

[ManseMasher]

Looking forward to brewing one of your Saison recipes in it!

[serum]

I'll be back on those when the weather picks up! Been doing some new French recipes too, will let you know how those go. They might be up your street

[ManseMasher]

Sounds good - look forward to seeing/trying them!

Pm me your address - I'll send a bottle. McMullan is getting one sent too! If the Windbush City Limits is any good want one of those?

[ManseMasher]

6 days in, 1010. Pretty damned close and all around a happy masher in the Manse.

In awe of that set up manse. You drinking all of that 70L yourself? I'm not angling for one, just wondering if you're planning on shifting it commercially?
