2:45 wort at 22 degrees, so into the fermenter. Halfway through the chill I put the boiler up on another custom brew stand. (righto, its a washing machine).

The wort settled out nicely and was clear(ish) coming out into the fermenter.

Target SG was 1.046; actual was 1.042 - not bad I say. Target volume was 22.5L, actual volume was 22.5L. I'm happy with that.
Pitched the randy yeast, and put them on the shelf to go to work. Even held the lid down with some custom hold downs as it wasn't sealing properly (even though its a new o-ring).

MOB,
Be careful. Putting a hydrometer into warm/hot wort will mean you need to buy another one.
If you hear a "click" you had better hope your wife/car is home .
I think those hydometers shit them selves above about 40 degrees C
