First brew on the new system

My chocolate lab Guinness is getting up in age. My mojo that hangs on every brew system I've built is a small a keg of Guinness. So guess what I'm brewing first... Irish Dry stout.

First brew was really nice. I  over shot my mash temps with the new system, but that's a process change. I found a problem with the HLT controller. I did a no sparge since that's what I like to do on low gravity brews.

First brew in the garage - I need a longer hose and a shut off valve. I was a little nervous dropping a whirlpool chiller in an electric boil kettle, but it was fine.

Overall I like the new system, I'll have to work out the kinks.

Cheers Guinness...
