The grain

Damn cold in the garage today

New gauge on overback at strike temp.

General brewery shot

Recirc of 1st runnings

Sparge wand reduced made no difference to efficiency

Runoff into kettle

Todays hops. The plastic tubs have cascade hops that i used the other month to dry hop another IPA. Since then they have been in the freezer. I am taking a leaf out of Ainswicks book and reusing my hops for their remaining bittering compounds. First time i've tried this.

Yeast starter calmed down

Running into fermenter

While watching the run off into the fermenter i liked the look of my piping so i took a shot.(Leave normal to others).

Runoff almost complete

I like the colour

The crystalised heather honey and a packet of tabs

General brewery shot, looks a right mess but honest there's order in their somewhere!

There are some hops in this brew from Boris Charlton over in Articles for sale section. The Willamette and fresh cascade are from him. Both smell great but the Willamette in particular is stunning. If this gets a bit of dry hopping it will be with the Willamette. Who am i kidding with the word 'if'!
