I ended up with about 45L @ 1043 as I still haven't dialed the brewery in yet as waiting to finish the HERMS, talking of which I used the spent grain to do a wet, dry run of the the HERMS system. All worked well
So next brew will be the dial in and baseline brew
Control box: left PID is measuring HE outlet temp and controlling the Cygnets 3KW element. Right PID is just acting as a thermometer measuring the mash temp.
The Cygnet urn (no leaks, rather shocking for me):
Hoping to brew again as soon as the above is out of the fermenter
