Just doughed in my AG batch. All I gotta say is.... Good LORD that's a whole lotta grain! 18 lbs into my tun, it's riding pretty high today! And 5.5 gal strike water, too! Yowzas.
The Hop gods smiled upon me, found some Magnum for my bittering, and got my stash of Goldings already in the freezer. Too bad the Magnum was $3/oz at my lhbs.
EDIT: This is getting interesting. I lost a bunch of the Magnum due to a untimely (and predicted) boilover. Added 1/2 oz hersbrucker to compensate. Also took an extra 5 1/2 gal of runnings (which still look dark) and am flipping those into a second runnings brew. Yay last minute changes.
EDIT EDIT: I'm boiling the 2nd runnings now. Good god this has been high-stress. So many things to break, so little time.
Mash Tun, fairly full if I may say so. But more impressively, dark!
There's some in the bottom of the pitcher and also in the syphon tube.
This is while returning to a boil, immediately after the huge boil-over from my Magnum hop addition.
