Double brew days are great.

just wondering about the different boil volumes 34l and 32l both to get 21l in a 70 min boil?

My wife refers to the brews as my babies so the comments from you all above aren't far off :)

Adjusted to what actually came out on the day. My HLT measuring can be a little haphazrd at times so it turned out that I had a smaller starting boil for one. I just kept the lid on a bit more...

They both tasted alright when I took the fermenter samples this morning. Yeast is pitched and away they go.

Will be trying to fit in one more before the arrival but we'll see :)
