Bottled

Drinking samples out of the fermentation vessel was drinkable so hopefully this one is a good one.

Set half the bottles aside to condition slowly (going to wait until Feb 2011).  The other half are in a water bucket heated to 22degC for a couple of days to kick start the bottle conditioning... maybe they will be drunk over Christmas.

17L of wort getting ready to boil

... hopefully I can sustain the rolling boil once the lids are off.... want as much of the DMS to escape.

b******s

Hadn't adjusted my brewing method to take account of the wort not undergoing a boil in turning it into extract.
Cant decide if its cat piss or baby breath.... but its definitely ropey.

Next project is to make an electric hot liquor tank and add taps to the copper boiling pots.

Geared up for another brew at the weekend
