Fifth all grain brew - Chinooks Away October 12

Got another brew on at the weekend - the second in as many weeks(!). This was to use up my leftover Chinook hops from the freezer - a good excuse I thought :)

Brewday went smoothly. I got hold of some pH strips and so could test the mash pH for the first time. Happily, it was 5.2 as far as I can tell, which I've been told is where it should be. I used US-05 yeast for the first time to try to bring out the hops some more. Should be good by Christmas :)

Writeup of the brew day with lots of photos is now in the brewing section.
