The Grains, Maris Otter, Amber Malt and Torrefied Wheat:
Mash paddle I made at work:
Mashing with my new spoon, no more floppy spoon syndrome:
Looks pretty damn good for pH:
Celeia Hops:
First batch sparge wort, tasting interesting… quite dry but sweet if you know what I mean:
First Batch goes on to warm up with FWH and 1Tsp Gypsum:
Coming to the Boil:
Cold Break:
Nice Clear Wort:
Hit around OG1042 @ 23 Deg C so that will do π
Next malt Experiment will be using Brown Malt.
Less than 24 hours and its fermenting well:

Celeia eh? Not a hop I’m family with.
Also, I now have mild spoon envy…
