What are you brewing II ?

[NickB]

****, forgot about the Ashes.

No drinking tonight, trying to cut down during the week, so dry from Mon - Thurs. However, the brewing goes much quicker when you mash in at lunch time, then mash out when you get home! SWMBO even helped today, wonders will never cease!!!

Not too chilly actually, which is good!

Efficiency was up, but so was volume. My new 'brewstand' also decided it didn't like the heat, with the paint burning off (such a tasty smell too!!)

Cheers

Cheers Glenn, but, seeing as it's the maiden voyage of the new mashtun, I'll keep it small, just in case.

That's a shame. I thought that you would've given my last 2kg of Thomas Fawcett MO a good home. There's not much that I can do with it... I guess it may as well go in the bin. h34r:
