Hi,
I'm planning on coming along tomorrow to observe/assist.
I haven't been to a brew day in the Franciscan Well, is it OK if I just turn up between 8 and 9 in the morning?
Yup, just show up. Closer to nine than to eight I'd say.
Was hoping to show the face tomorrow, but will be working instead. :'(
I wouldn't mind going to one of these, I'm wandering up the county tomorrow though.
Successful brew-day but not without its 'usual' glitches. All mashed in at 9:10. Mashed for just over an hour at 67C.
On sparging we discovered that the manifold had disconnected from the ball valve. After a bit of DIY and Eoin's magic touch we had a total runoff of 35L. An hour and a half boil gave us 30L in the fermenter @ 1.060.
Sorry Frans, I missed this one. Kids and shít, you'll understand :P
Sounds like you had plenty if help though? I'm curious to know what Eoin's magic touch was?
All I did was to help free a blocked outlet on the mash tun. I just continued doing what Pete had started before he was called away.
The real magic was when Franz was able to reconnect the dislodged screen at the bottom of the mash.
All in all it was a very enjoyable and informative day.
