I brewed this up yesterday which is based on Reprobate Stout from Brewing Classic Styles using closest hops I had.The original recipe calls for Horizon @60min (67.4 IBU) and 28g Centennial @5 min. I did not have a great boil as element was cutting out for a short while about every 10 min, so I added 6 min to the boil. I somehow ended up with 21 litres in the fermenter instead of 19L but OG was 1070 so should be fine. The mash smelt amazing and looked nice and dark.

That's a very nice looking recipe Derek

Is that the new element you got in Milestone that's tripping? did you figure out why it's playing up?

Its the original electrim boiler element. I might just remove the cut off from the element. The element from milestone has round type pins and I did not get a lead yet.

Glad it went well
