I hit the mash temp spot on 66c going for a weak ish mash of 3 - 1 ratio and a longer mash time of 2 hours as I have to nipp out for a few things from the shop. Sparge water is measured out 35litres and it is currently at 90c will be letting this cool down before the sparge. So far no problems at all I must be getting used to this new brewery, The end result should let me know how used to it I'm getting.
Pics will talk from now on

.Had a good day I measured out the water using one of my FVs so I knew how much was in the boiler for sparging. Had a fellow brewer call found from Manchester to pick up my old placky brewery and the mashtun hence the brew today after yesterdys brew day gave some info and a taster of my only drinkable brew at the moment also sent him off with a bottle of the brew I kegged yesterday, SWMBO was alright with the impromptu brew day bit it's going to cost me something though not sure what yet.
