we brewed up the berrill dorado golden ale yesterday, didn't go smoothly... mash tun had a bad leak, had to transfer water back and forth several times and finally had to reheat it when the leak was fixed. almost spilled half the grain on the garage floor... luckily, we didn't. ended up over-filling the mash tun and had to drain it off to fit all of the grain. had a couple boil overs. amazingly, we ended up finishing the session with almost exactly 10 gallons and were more efficient on our mash than planned. ended up with an OG of 1.064 and the elephant riders gave the fermentation a kick start with their rock. should end up with a tasty, slightly stronger than planned beer.
