Here is my first brew day video...we brewed an American lager (hbc) and an oatmeal stout...was a great day...tough enough to get 2 done in 1 day but delighted with the outcome

Out of interest did you use the same water for both or did you use treated water?

Used ashbreck water from tesco for the lager and filtered tap water for the oatmeal stout

Your text on the video knows something and is intuitive. You said "the Lager is for my wife" and the text said "for my life". :D

Love seeing how others brew
On mash efficiency 65-70% is pretty low most should be 70-75 Herms GF BM Recircs up to 85-90
Look at increasing your water ratio up to 3:1 and or a way to keep that deadspace insulated to avoid temperature drop, nice "cans" btw

Thanks everyone...I like vlogging...I setup a website for my brewing adventures www.johnniebongo.com I'm going to put up a blog post and a video everytime I brew...its a great way to learn from mistakes...one thing I found this time was to pre heat the mash tun before adding the strike water...I had been missing my Temps by a couple of degrees but this helped

Also check the temp of your grain and adjust your strike water, especially with the cold weather now upon us

Before you start down Herms or rims route and you will get there 
boiled kettle or bag of ice sorts you out in a hurry

You can use commercial anti foam products to keep that to a min, wouldn't be a fan myself. Simpler solution is mister with water, not your starsan one
