Did some brewing with Savvas and Geoff down and Savvas' parents place.. had to go there so we had some shelter from the cold in their garage. Heck, we froze up one hose during the brew session as it was.. a bit chilly, yep. Turns out it was Sav's first 'solo' all grain brew day.. I had no idea until he said so after the beer was all finished up and in the fermentor. He looked like a champ out there. ;) Here's some shots of the event..

So, all in all, the day went well. He got 1.057 on a recipe that called for 1.053, but he also got about 1/2 a gallon less volume than he had planned for.. he's gonna be topping up with some boiled and cooled water on return to the homestead and things should be right on track for this Northern English Brown. We'll see how this thing tuned out in a few weeks or so.. stay tuned!
