I have a loader to load it. I'll pm you my phone number​. Thanks

Still here. Thanks

It ain't pretty but it works. Only 1 fan is operating on condenser. Compressor runs smooth. I don't have the room for it I have both towers also. All for 275. Located near Mount airy NC.

You didn't I mistyped it. And changed my recipe from the original.

I was shooting for a abv around 3.5 with the notty yeast but It will be a little higher than that.

My final volume was just over 11 gallons with 14.4# Mo 1# crystal

I think I'm crushing to fine? I'm just double batch sparging. Nothing fancy. Any advice?

Brewed it last night overshot gravity. Got 87 percent efficiency. Came in at 1.042 pitched notty in one and Windsor in the other fermenter. Done 10 gallons. 2 ounces of EKG at 60 and 2 ounces of fuggles at 20. Clocked in at 27 something IBU. Thanks for all the advice!

So put the EKG in at 90 mins right? Thanks for the info. Because i know nothing about traditional English brewing techniques.

Thanks! I should have put the og. My software says og at like 1.039 at 75% efficiency. Thanks for the advice!

Here's the bill: 8lb 8 oz Maris otter 8oz crystal 60L 1oz EKG 60 min .75 fuggle 30 min .5 fuggle 15 min Notty yeast Mash at 155 60 mins Never had a bitter. Just want a very drinkable beer with English ingredients. If it can be improved upon I'm all ears. I have never used crystal neither...

It turned out awesome. I can't believe it's an ale. Ended up using notty yeast. Fermented at 59. Starting gravity was 1.056 finished at 1.007. overshot gravity but it was awesome. Drank 10 gallons it 3 weeks

Here's the gravity ready. Whoops it was higher than I thought

First ag yesterday went OK. Missed mash temp by 3f hit 149. And my og came out at 1.052. hope it will still be drinkable. Color is wonderful going into fermenter. Thanks biermuncher. When I seen the color I said now this is why I went ag!!
