Looks like you had a good un. 8)

I'm envious of the temperature controlled fermenter in this weather. :=P

i'll ask some dumb questions...

if you were pumping batch one to the boiler, where was the water coming from for batch 2?

i also notice that your letting the wort drop into the bucket when running off - i thought this you were supposed to protect from the air at this point?

i'm still learning :wink:

I've figured why make work for myself, it's not going to be a keeping beer and i've aerated the wort at this stage in the past without any problems.
Cool. It's been said that a great design is not when you can't add anything more, but when you can't take anything else away. That also applies to brewing i guess.
