Ended up with 21L at 1.058, which BeerSmith says is 80% efficiency
Pitched the Windsor after rehydrating into the lovely copper-coloured wort. I love these clouds of break material:

All finished at twenty past two and off into the cupboard at about 17-18C it goes

I'm right behind you Neal. Started brewing this morning at 10.30am, running off into the FV now. I prepped up everything last night though so when I started I was well ahead. One of my quickest brewdays.

Hope you had a good one.
