Boil complete, just letting it stand for 30 mins while I pump sanitiser and then water through the CFC...

All done.

OG 1051 which gives a pretty poor brewhouse efficiency of 61% but hopefully the end product should be worth it 8)

Five hours all told not including cleaning! :(

Frothers - the boiler is a 27L burco. I try to fill it as high as I dare and then top up with 'spare' wort after about an hour and then again 10 mins before power off.

You've got sharp eyes, that is indeed a keg in the background. It's 50L and may end up as a mash tun.
