Thanks chaps 8)

All went to plan. I got a little better efficiency than expected - OG 1044 instead of 1041, so I rinsed the hop bed out with a kettle of boiled water (as taught to my be the great Tubby Shaw) to squeeze a bit more out of it.

Hoping this one is going to be ready quite speedily - am I right to expect that for a smaller beer?
