Been getting a whole new system together for the last 12 months or so, kegerator, herms, boiler, etc. so have only done one brew last Sunday. It was a batch of Dr Smurrto's Golden Ale :icon_drool2: , but look out baby the brewpot will be bubbling over the Christmas break!!!!
Just hope I've got enough hops to see me through though.
I must be honest. I did attempt to brew a batch the week before. I did a batch sparge and was getting so excited thinking about using the spent grain to tune the pid that I forgot to stop pumping the mash out water from the hot liquor tank into the mash tun and went inside to get my notes. Then I got distracted with BeerSmith until the power went out, awh f*ck it, I raced out to the garage to find about 40 litres of extra water than necessary had been pumped into the mash tun, then over the bench & floor, this of course resulted in the hlt element being exposed and burning out. I spent the next 5 hours clearing and cleaning the garage and equipment. Oh well live and learn, needless to say I didn't move from the garage last Sunday, but I've had so many good buys and finds the last couple of weeks that it hasn't made me feel too bad at all. Look like a ******** maybe but that's another story. Oh boy swmbo has got me some prawns for dinner :icon_cheers: .
