Sitting here with a glass of red wine(its been one of those days) and thinking about tomorrows activities. I could either dig out fence post holes and crack on with the fencing or i could brew this beer and stop procrastinating(only one glass so far so big words are NOT a problem)!
What do you guys think fencing mania or mad scientist?
P.S Roger Waters Welcome to the machine live. What a set of tunes!

Well its funny you should say that. The 2 packs of windsor are pitched into a 1/2 ltr sugar/water solution(couldn't resist). Hit my first speed wobble as the grain bill fills my wee 23ltr mash tun to the top. Recipe is as below now as its all in the tun and the realisation of the size kicked in the more bags i poured in! Anyway, going to do a mash on my propane burner and maintain at 68 deg for 90 mins. Much jiggling after that but should be ok and going tfor a 2 hour boil looking for 30 ltr wort pre boil.
Its only when 12 kgs or so of grain is staring you in the face do you realise just what a IRS is.
Aye and this is with no hops yet! Aleman 'Ye be a star' if i can have a pirate interlude. Thanks again for the help so far, the rollercoaster departs at 09.00 thursday i can't wait.

As I said to Damfoose when we were looking at the 13.7Kg of grain in the FV . . . If we want to we can make 80L of Dry Stout if you like rather than 25L Of Imperial Stout?
They are one big beer
