Ended up with 19 litres @ 1044 and got to use my new shiney boiler for the first time Having two elements cut about half an hour off the process.

Down to 1014 this morning and loads of tasty chocolate malt flavour starting to come through - beginning to taste the fuggles too. Unfortunately I smashed my hydrometer on the kitchen floor after taking the reading so I'll probably never know what the FG is
