Here is my set-up for mashing and sparging while I was brewing a nice Citra Pale Ale recipe I got from a work colleague. I didn't take any pictures of the boil 'cause boiling is boiling. I brewed this on March 15th and bottled it on Easter Sunday. It's too young to try just yet but I think it should be really good. Turns out I overshot my OG a little and it ended up at 1.068 and the FG ended up at 1.014. I'll post a picture of a glass of it when I try it.

Here is the recipe:
