Did my first brew in 30 plus years today. I did brew in a bag and only a single batch sparge. I am hoping to make a British type IPA and using brewers friend did all the calcs amazingly I near enough nailed it although I am going to have to dilute the wort a bit as I want to make about 4.2 - 4.3 % abv for a session beer and the wort after the boil is going to give about 5.4% . I also crunched the numbers for efficiency and that came in at 71 % no idea if this is good or not on a first go I had keyed in for a 75% efficiency when I made up the recipe . I have to hope for a good fermentation now.
I used my homemade wort chiller and it works very well indeed, cooled the wort down in no time.
