Comments:
First brew in the BruHeat w/ chiller. Very successful, if slow. Need to remember how long it takes wort to boil!
Possibly a little warm for yeast pitching, ~32C
The chiller needs lifting to cool the top of the wort. Look at how that could be done.
Managed by stirring, lifting the chiller, and pouring and returning wort from tap to top.
Nice big bed of hops left after draining!
Captured ~22l wort.

Bright and drinkable by Thu 24 June 2010! Tastes like a digestive biscuit, mind you…
Bottled 6x Wed 07 July.
Very nice indeed – bitter, hoppy, slightly biscuity taste. I’m really enjoying it, V isn’t as keen as it’s a bit too bitter. Good head retention.
