comments:
-never put a full pot at the edge of a table!!
- cooling time: 30-40 min
- It took 30-40 min for the mult to start boiling.
- the hops were boiled inside a nylon beg.
- Quite lot of mash particles ended up in the fermentor, beer was cloudy
- thermometer broke
- beer smelled good at tank swapping.
- there was a brownish foam on the top instead of the usual white one (probably due to the beer darkness)
- the beer was very cloudy - because the yeast haven't sunk yet - swapping was too early I think.
