Hoppy pale ale today, mashed in at 8am and all done now. Used the Hoprocket again and set up a whirlpool immersion chiller with a bit of copper pipe. Seemed to work OK, the brown pump did a fine job even with the somewhat trubby flow. Hoprocket got kinda blocked though, next time I will break up the flowers a bit, they were still quite stuck together when I put them in. Pretty new NZ cascade flowers and some older Nelson flowers. Smelt good and tastes super hoppy.
