ah! but you are forgetting my latest purchase that of an insulated mash tun which now cuts off an hour from my brewing time, I should be in bed for 11 (hopefully )

Good luck CK

Looks tasty, have a cood one CK

Hope it's gone OK

forgot! sorry

I do have a tip though, when you lift off your fermenting bin from the side of the sink always turn the tap off first particualrly when its full of bleach solution. mind you , our kitchen floor is cleaner than it ever been and I wont ever have to shave my toes again

Nice one Col, tip stored for future usage

Hope all finished well ck

if I dont people start asking where i got my novelty slippers from

it finished at 1050 so thats around what I was hoping for (not the 1070 that beersmith reckoned) Ive split my ringwood yeast starter into 3 with one in the brew, hopefully that will be enough to do the job although it doesnt seem particulalry active at the moment. I can can always add the others if it isnt.

it was a wyeast smack pack I let swell then after a day gave it a little start in a bit of the wort then divided it into 3 using one for the brew abd keeoing the other two . It didnt seem like much when it came out of the pack . that list was copied off my beersmith thingy and it automaticaly put that amount it so not sure really.

okay will do, I will try the slurry method . do i just scoop it up and add it to some wort ?

cheers Daab I will give that a try , gervin seems much simpler
