Ok done! Went very well acheived my target 23L, only got to an OG of 1056 though so not sure what happened there. Actually the wort was @ about 25C when I measured so where's that conversion chart thing.

Edit: Ok that takes it up to 1058 apparently, perhaps beer smiths calcs were wrong I've never been that far off before

Only have one picture I'm afraid as I was lazy. Picture of the worts gravity being measured to follow, it's a very nice colour.

And here's the finished product, it is ruby honest
