Hey guys wow what a day it's been, started at 9am and finished at 2pm. Recorded every step of the way and have results (good I hope).
Started with 30L of strike water temp. 70 deg C gas switched off at around 71.5C
Mash temp 64.4C to 68C target was around 64 to 66.
Volume after removing grain bag was 26L
added 3L of sparge and 1L drained out of grain bag. Pre-Boil volume now 30L.
Probably did a just over 75min boil. Volume after boil 20L.
Started transfer of wort to fermenter at 25 to 20C.
Aerated pitched yeast and airlock on and fermenter volume is 18L.
I did a hydrometer reading, but don't know how to read it or do it, so could be wrong??
pretty much filled the glass trial jar till the hydrometer made it over flow then it floated around 60?
My target OG is 1.052 and final is 1.013.
So I guess you want the photos now......

So that's it fingers crossed it tastes good and I got close to my target gravity! can anyone make any sense out of the reading I took?
Cheers.

Will it taste better than it smells? cause dam that not a nice smelling beer yet?
when should I see bubbles in air-lock start to occur?
Could it be that the 60 reading is in fact the 1.060 which means I'm off as it is meant to be 1.052 what will this mean?
