Well that was prophetic. :blink:
An otherwise successful brew day, sparge was long and unblocked. Slightly better efficiency than I calculated for and hit 1105 for the final gravity. :super:
but
as I'm draining the wort into the cube, in the rain, I decide to step in front of the kettle, slip on the damp concrete, snag foot on hose, pulling kettle off NASA traight towards feet (had my safety things on too), somehow jump out of the way of scalding wort and avoid injury, only to watch the last 8 litres drain down the driveway.
Not sure whether to laugh or cry, but I can always brew more beer, growing new skin is a bit trickier.
cheers
