Rather than go with a straight K&K, I ended up getting a CB american pale ale wetpak. Good fun making it.
A total of 60 minutes to boil. Added grain and sparged at 45 minutes then took of the heat and sprinkled in the hops at the 60 minute mark. Let sit for 10 minutes and then spent another 10 cooling the wort down.
Put it all in the fermenter and pitched the yeast at around 27 degrees. Bit high for the yeast, but didn't want to leave the wort exposed. Had an SG of 1045, perhaps 1046. My hydrometer reading skills have yet to develop
Hope she goes all right. Trying to get that temp down to the 20-21 mark now.
