Brewed this yesterday.
An enjoyable brew day with only a couple of cock ups, I left the tap open on my cleaning bucket (kitchen floor needed a wash anyway) and would you believe it, I took OG and temp readings just before pitching and promptly forgot them. Everything was in the right ball park so I’m not too bothered.
First batch sparge collected 16.5 litres @ 1.054 and second batch sparge collected 17 litres @ 1.017 and ended up with dead on 25 litres after 90 minute boil.
Not sure how it’ll turn out using S-04, have to wait and see and possibly change for a liquid yeast next time round.
Sussex should be ABV 4% but I’ve nudged it up two points.

Sorry, I didn’t get to take photos during the brewing so you’ll have to make do with a couple of sample jar shots…
