    Spot the deliberate mistake 😮

    The garden and hop harvest looks great. What a cracking day for a brew! Looks like it went smoothly to me. Cheers mate 🍻

      Hi Dino, yeah, I've pretty much nailed the G40 now,
      I've had issues with the bottom plate and sometimes the mash needs a stir when recirculating, you get a message, slow flow but all good on this one,
      Cheers mate and thanks for watching and commenting 👍 🍺

    Thanks Dave, what a lovely day to be harvesting hops with Albert (he wasn't very helpful though, lol) and a great day to brew a lovely looking ale. Take care and all the best. Stevie

      Nice one Stevie, absolutely no interest in beer Albert but if there was a small animal nearby he'd been different 😂.
      Cheers mate 👍 🍺.

      @BrewabitRick I can fill two kegs of around 5.5% beer, this was just a single batch.
      Cheers mate 👍 🍺

    Great video David. It’s a pity I wasn’t there with my grandson Morrison as he loves picking hops.
    Found the whole video very relaxing and I wish more home brewers would actually show more of the actual hands on techniques. Was taken aback by the OG reading. Surely it couldn’t be that high😂😂😂 if it was correct you must be getting 200% mash efficiency😂😂😂
    All the best mate and I hope to see you soon.
    Ps could the deliberate mistake have been the first runnings gravity before you sparged?

      I noticed you did the same clip twice when putting the chiller into the wort 😂
      I couldn’t work out if you had put the chiller in at the start of the boil or after?
      Just shows I watched the video thoroughly 😂😂😂👍👍👍

      Bang on.
      I put the chiller in after sparging. It sanitises and allows for a more vigorous boil.
      Top marks David.
      Cheers mate 👍 🍺

    Hop cropping looks nearly as tedious as Elderberry flower/berry cropping 🤣. Looked like a nice day for a brew day at least 👍. No top plate on the G40 then 🤔? I was never convinced that it needed one in the first place 🙄. It's a bit piss poor that it doesn't have an automatic sparge, that's the most tedious bit 🙄! I have a better set up on my poxy cool box set up than that 🙄! I'm not impressed, no wonder the efficiencies aren't brilliant 🙄😲😤! Fancy beeper for hop additions, my watch does that 😉 🤣. I won't be rushing out to spend a fortune to "upgrade" my all grain system 🤣. Great update though on the major flaws with a grainfather system, shan't be bothering. Stay safe and well, SIR, cheers, Schnuz.

      @Schnuz No mate, as far as know, none of the all in systems have, I could set one up in the garage but can't be bothered, it isn't perfect but I think I have it nailed now and does a good job of keeping temperature.
      Cheers mate and thanks again for watching. 👍🍺

      Great video, looking forward to seeing how this one turns out 🍺
      Protofloc?

      @White_Rose_Al It went in at 10 mins along with the yeast nutrient.
      I had that much footage it just went missing 😳.
      Cheers mate 👍 🍺

      Just racked my dark ale into a keg, and I forgot to get my primer ready. Duh moment...
