So i have made my first brewing video, a bit rough around the edges as i have never done this before and not too keen on seeing myself on the screen! It was fun though and all worked out well.

There are two parts of 15mins each.

Enjoy!

Hey Chris. Well done man. Enjoyed that!

Now then... running off at full pelt? What was your overall efficiency on that brew?

Haven't a clue, but i always get what i was looking for......1.044 and 20L so i'm happy

great vids! Ive got the same thermometer as you! How did you mount it into the HLT?

What was your recipe and I'll work it out?

Managed to work it out by watching again. Your brewhouse efficiency is 78%. That's bloody impressive given the fact you run off at full pelt.

Thanks for looking into that. I haven't had time to respond to your message, on my phone just now.
That's pretty good then. Always done a fast run off and it always works.

Nice video buddy I should do one, did a few clips with my brew today but thats all

Hi Chris,
Enjoyed your vids very much. Like you no fuss approach too.
Regards, Mark

nice work

Nice video - well done! My sparging technique is quite similar to yours - glad to see you're having success with it. My efficiency went up from 70-75% to over 80% when I switched from batch sparging. It's a lot quicker too

I can get high 80's batch sparging.

That's excellent - well done My mash tun is too small to get efficient batch sparging, so the switch to a continuous sparge made sense. I don't use exactly the same method as ChrisG which goes to show that sparging isn't so much of a black art as it might seem.

Nice vids and great to encourage new brewers to the hobby!
