Almost ready to go...

Well, I hope I never have to pick up a hacksaw again, but my coolbox mash tun is finally made so I'm ready for an all-grain brew. Now all I need is to choose a recipe and find a few days when the weather forecast means I can keep the fermentation temperatures down...

The finished filter:


The filter in the mash tun:


I just tested it and with water the temperature dropped from 41 to 40 in an hour, so with some blankets it should do the job fine

Thanks for the messages guys.

Having spent the last hour enjoying a bottle of Hobgoblin, I think I have a winner for my first AG recipe - a Hobgoblin clone! A very fine beer. Luckily I have some Wyeast #1028 London Ale in the fridge too that's in need of a brew

I'll just have a couple of kilos of DME on standby in case it all goes wrong...

Top stuff, Barry.
I'm still in awe at how well these things work.
I hope you find the same.

Barry, excellent work on both the manifold and the photos. That looks super and I'm sure you are going to enjoy the process and the results. Cheers!

Mmmmmm Hobgoblin

I have a name at least - as its a home brewed Hobgoblin I shall call it "House-Elf Beer". Now, if only brewing it were so easy
