beer still tasted good so racked it off the yeast, pasteurised it, chilled it then popped it into a sanitised FV with a tonne of dry hops fingers crossed.

First time using llalemand New England yeast. Cleaning and sanitizing practises are good. Beer 13 days in fermenter. Has hit and stayed at expected FG. Smells and tastes good. Very surprised to see this. Have compared to a lot of other pics of pellicle. Doesn't quite look the same to me...

Don't be too lazy to learn to tie a knot properly on the rope noose you use to pull your BiaB bag after mashing and compound this error by assuming your half-assed knot you came up with will be tight enough.... try to pull 10kg bag....bag slips from knot... SPLASH.... covered head to...

Back on topic: * When you watch your wife rinse your daughters hair in the bath and immediately think of sparging * When you explain to your buddy who's just shared out a Longneck (750ml) of your brew amongst three people that he's totally screwed the third guy because your not supposed to...

When you've read all 589 pages of thread you know: * Comparitively, you're not as obsessive about home brewing as you feared. * JonM's Rorschact signature is in the top 3 funniest things you've ever read * You don't know what #Redbully means but can't be bothered to find out *...

Anger SWMBO? Don't do that.

Proactively wrap your kettle with a sleeping bag and straps whilst your burner is on bringing your BiaB kettle up to mash temp, and assume the heat coming up the sides of your kettle wont melt the sleeping bag and straps.... Talk to your daughter whilst you're preparing a sanitising bucket...
