How does this look, Mild brewers?

Last mild I did was a disaster, so I thought I'd bounce it off you chaps for sanity. :)

It looks okay to me. What yeast are you going to use?
Speaking of mead for vikings: I am aging a batch of mead to give my grandson on his 21st birthday. His first and middle names are Leif Ericksson.
I'm just here for the beer.

Good work on the mead!

How long has it been aging for?

I'll probably use WLP002.

Next month will be two years, Leif is 6 1/2.
I plan to bottle soon.

Poor little viking won't know what hit him. That is a mighty fine coming-of-age gift.

That sounds more like a 19L recipe. Unless your efficiency is nearer 90%, I think you'll struggle to reach those figures in a 23L brew.

I think it must be a 5 US gallon recipe.

I brew 19 litre lengths, to fit cornies.

Should have mentioned that... :)
