Good luck with your brews & congrats to you for the forthcoming birth.

Last brews for a while...maybe baby

Good luck on all fronts

Hope it's all going well

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
