I decided to add another handfull of Green Bullet as the aroma hops alongside the EKG. No shortage of Green Bullet here and i like a hoppy aroma. :)

My boiler takes around 25 mins to get to the boil. Wish it took 2.5mins...

I had just that on my first car I kid you not, but that car didn't last long enough to ever get round to fixing it. Mind you I did use a pice of wood once to wedge my turbo inlet onto the plenum so I could get home :roll: .

Once it had come up to boil i added the hops. 28 ltr's is the most i can boil in my boiler without getting too worried about overflowing. I added the remaining wort bit by bit as the wort in the boiler evaporated.

If you look closely by the little patch of foam you can see some of the seeds being released by the flowers. I'm going to split some of the flowers up to find some seeds and see if i can get them to grow.

My IC brings the temp down to 24 in around 30 mins. Especially when it's raining and i can have it on full blast :D

Finally i transfered the wort to my FV. Whilst doing this a kamikaze moth divebombed into my FV, got trapped on the foam for a second then sunk. I grabbed my paddle and scooped out the foam where he had gone in. I got him out but i think he may have infected the wort. I stamped him into a mush, swearing and cursing like a demented thing :evil: :evil: :evil:

So after all that work it could potentially be for nothing because of a bloody moth. :cry:
At this stage i pitched the wort and went to bed with the hump. :x

Sounds like a surreptitiously draped Mosquito Net might be called for :wink:

if i can get them to grow
Not unheard of, but you probably won't get the same kind of hop as the seed it came from.

Great pics btw 8)
