Yep, you're the odd one out now, Gav. :lol:
Sure you don't want anything in the bulk buy then? You know you want to.
It may well happen, I'm finding myself looking at 30 lt urns and 40 litre pots on ebay for no apparent reason!!!!

watered it up to 12 litres shouldve stopped at 11 for a better gravity , but all part of the learning curve ....

I'd just leave it a few days, Barra. No need to get it off the yeast yet.
Did it really ferment out totally in less than 24 hours? That is amazingly fast. How much yeast did you pitch? Was it at full krausen when you pitched? How does it taste? :unsure:

Top work Ned. Well done. You know that now the hunt for bigger gear starts. :excl:
Like Stu says, leave it for a few days before racking, It won't hurt.
Gav, come on - you know you need to.... cross over to the dark side :super:

I know the day will come Phil but it probably won't be soon.
Ned, I fermented the ISB Goldy with a Coopers reculture and found it pretty agressive as well, I did keep the temps down pretty low though (<18 deg). If you're a bit higher and possibly you're OG a little low and a pretty high pitching volume by the sounds of it (compared to the wort volume) then perhaps it's not unusual to have it go pretty quickly.
