First Bulldog epic IPA

[alix101]

Epic because it took so long
Yesterday I brewed an IPA it was supposed to be a kolsch day but my ancient yeast had other ideas so US05 saved a brew day.

I pushed the first brew on the system to the limits I wouldn't try a beer any bigger.
I almost put my back out getting the grain tube out.
Anyway I won't bore you to much with details but it turned out to be a 10hr brew day....

why did the brewday lasted 10 hours? i thought single systems were meant to save time?
