Notes

Water cooled by 2C from HLT to mash tun, next time use jug to transfer until HLT light enough to lift. Initial mash temp 63.5C. Added 1.7L boiling water to get to 65.5. Tinfoil on top of mash and lagged with sleeping bags. Changed batch sparge vol to 20L to compensate. 30mins into mash 65.3C and 5.3pH. Stuck sparge, stirred and vorlauf again. Preboil 33.8L @ 1.047. Boil for an extra 30min to try and hit OG and vol. Moved pot over 2 rings on left as boil was not strong enough. Moved back to centre and front left rings....bit better. Postboil vol 26.8L spot on! Chilled to 92C and added whirlpool hops. Massive trub loss and hop matter got into fermenter. Work out some straining method. 20L into fermenter. Reusing yeast cake from previous brew. Fermentation went mental!! Decided against dryhopping after tasting post fermentation.
