I hope it will be Iowalad

Baldyjason we breed chickens here and she's gone to show some of our better looking stock at a local show with the hope of increasing our sales now that chicken keeping is the most fashionable hobby.

Some pix for you...

A stress free brewday

OG came in at 1055 which is in the ball park I was looking for and the wort tasted grrrreat so hopefully this'll turn out nice

My LHB boiler will never retire! I only used the ten gallon as I've been using the other for heating treated water for the fish tank. Those taps are shite Daab, I've actually unscrewed the bloody thing by mistake - not ideal when the liquid behind it is near boiling. I'll happily stick with the Thorne taps ta muchly

Must by some copper for a bigger IC though

Sounds like a plan, but I'd rather make a bigger one for 10 gallons and use the smaller one for cheeky 5 gallon escapades

Kegged this morning, finished at 1011 so that's 5.7% abv. Sample tasted fantastic
