Once around strike temp, in goes the rack on the bottom of the pot.
The bag is clipped on.
Grain from brewers coop. I just get them to mill it when I buy it.
Dough in!
Mashing. I do this with the little burner on the stove on low. This seems to keep the temperature of the mash about right.
While mashing, I bottled up another brew which was ready.
Sanitizing bottles is easy with a dishwasher!
After the mash, it's time to extract the bag. I wish I had a pulley system!
Getting the last drops out! Who knows if I'm supposed to do this?
The hazy wort, having a boil.
I wanted to use Koppafloc, but Brewers Coop don't sell it :( First time using a kettle fining though...
After the boil, it's straight into a cold bath.
The frozen water bottles are added (sanitized of course).
Afterawhile the bottles are taken out of the wort, their lids taken off, and chucked into the bathwater. It cools the bathwater down pretty well for the last 10 or so degrees of chilling. I can't wait to get an immersion chiller!
The yeast cake from the previous brew.
Pitching wort straight on top of the cake.
The moment of truth. Turns out the FG is 1.050, .05 high than it's meant to be! Oh well, I guess it's going to be a bit stronger than Mr. Palmer's recipe!

Looks good Stu. I have (almost) completed my Immersion Chiller but in a moment of desperation dropped my kettle into the laundry tub with a sock in the plug hole and ran the garden hose into the tub. I adjusted the tap so it ran constantly and seeped through the sock keeping the water to a constant cool temp. Worked real well. Ghetto chiller ! !
