I managed to manouver a half day off and got a brew on. The plan was to increase the brewlength to 32 litres to allow me to fill a big and a small cornie but my half-arsed attempt to get a manifold for my my 50l mash tun meant that I was back to using the picnic box (hopefully for the last time).

This is obviously a Bitter and Twisted Clone (Castle Campbell being an ancient structure overlooking Dollar) as I am looking for something fruity for the summer BBQ's.

Almost an hour into the boil now and I was just sterilising the fermetation bucket when I noticed the hop strainer sitting beside the sink. I think I'll go and look out the sieve.

Bummer you hate it when that happens, hopefully it'll be fine anyway.

Hope all's gone well C

Everthing turned out fine. The wort is sitting in the bucket cooling down. I'll pitch the yeast in the morning.

Good work C (shame about the hop strainer - I did that recently )
