Nice pics!
70 percent isn't bad at all. How did your brew day go? Was it like you expected?

It actually went really well with the exception of a minor incident! After I put my IM chiller in the pot, the supply tubing was to close to the burner and it melted of course..LOL....I was able to cut the section out and re-clamp it.......it did the trick, now i need to get some longer tubing for the next batch!.
