That's some piece of kit!

Hope all goes well today.

Thank you! 15 minutes off strike temp, time for a bacon sarnie before the next step.....

[Chug]

I hope you have a good day trying out your new equipment Manse

[Clibit]

Big day! Enjoy, and good luck!

Cheers fellas! Strike temp reached at 1015. Mash on now, heating up sparge water.....

Counterflow chiller hooked up, blasted 80°c water through it. Time for a cup of tea!

Good luck with the brew.

[ManseMasher]

Sparge started 1130. Mashtun held 66°c for over an hour. Happy with that!

[ManseMasher]

Nice clear runnings....

[Halfacrem]

Looks great. Are you going to bottle all of that?

A couple of corneys - rest in bottles. Slightly short in copper, just over 70l, but runnings gravity was 1009 so I stopped.
