I brewed today!

Brew day......at last.
Well it was actually last week but I did the Butty Bach clone (British ale) BIAB, all went well 1046 og. And did a no chill cube due to ground water not being that cool and then got it into the fermenter the following day and pitched which seem to start bubbling within a couple of hrs like mad.
All in all fairly successful considering I'm returning back to brewing so with a couple of silly mistakes the final post boil amount wasn't quite where I wanted it but we'll get there I'm sure.
Happy brewing chaps

Never had this happen on a Märzen ... August Lager before.

I had 1.062 pre-sparge at 5.5 gallons of wort. I sparged to 8.5 gallons and had 1.053 Yay me, that’s about 87% efficiency on the mash. I had to cut it with 2 gallons of water to keep it where I wanted (not looking for an Imperial ‘Fest Lager yet)
