Didn't bother with a full pic set as they're all starting to look the same, but....
New mast tun



Last few brews I've been complaining that I haven't been getting a good cold break... so this time I switched to protafloc:


Gravity was up - 1050 but I was down 2 ltrs so I added 2 to bring it back to 1045 (ish)

Note cold break. Never seen one like this, there's a fair amount transferred to FV too .. it's sitting in there giving me evils. Hoping it's going to drop with the yeast.

Still .... S-O4 is doing it's business and all seems well ... tried the cara amber and the biscuit to see if I could get some red colour - seems like I have in the FV but can't be seen in the trial jar.
