I have just completed my first AG.
I pitched the yeast 10 minutes ago in an ESB. I am very happy with how things went in general, i achieved about 60 - 65% efficiency which i feel is great for my first AG.
The day didnt start as i had planned. My drill decided to pack it in after about 500grams of grain so i then had to hand mill the other 5.5 KG.
My chiller plate clogged as i started and i had to back flush to clear it, but it flowed very smoothly after that and i ended up with just short of the 25L that i was aiming for.
I was a bit worried yesterday about how things would go, but i am now confident that i will be able to produce some great beer as i gain more experience.
Thanks to the people that offered help and support during the set up of my gear. i feel that you have helped me a lot.
I now cant wait for the tasting in a couple of weeks and then the next brew.
