Almost hit my OG with 1.054 instead of 1.055. Very, very happy with that. Think I came in a bit short on my volume, around 2 litres or so short of the 22.88. One of the things I realised today is that I need a better way to measure my volumes. Might add some extra markings to my carboy in future.
Great day though. Really enjoyed it. Going to do a porter later this week hopefully. ;D
Congrats. recipe looks great. Its a nice feeling isnt it. To know you did the lot. From grain to glass. Now get back to cleaning up and have a brew.
I'd probably prefer it with Centennial than Simcoe anyway ;)
Well done Qs

Well yeah. I chose Centennial too cos I understand what it tastes like. I knew I liked it, I knew my friends liked it. Didn't want to be chancing something else on a first brew.

Yep it feels brilliant. Just hoping it takes off now and ends up nice. Cleaning all finished now.
Can't wait to go again this week.
Keep on truckin.. No longer an allgrain virgin :)
