Brew day! Pale ale for the upcoming local infosec meetup. https://mastodon.social/media/Q1D8moIF6xNGdbyEnkA
Malt pipe ready and grain waiting to get doughed in when we reach mashing temps.
Doughing in, and mashing phase started.
Crystal clear wort after mashing, always looks so nice.
Sparging. The ease of sparging brought by maltpipe is the main thing I upgraded my DIY BIAB system to a Grainfather for. No regrets.
Boiling starts and the bittering hops go in. Mosaic / Cascade / Simcoe in the brew.

Whilpooling to leave the leaf material from hops and the protein trub from malts to the center of the kettle bottom, while pumping clear wort out.

Counter flow chiller works wonders, pumping almost boiling wort through it cools the wort down to under 20C. Being able to pump straight to the fermenter and aeriating on the way saves a lot of time and effort.
