Brewed this weekend/Sitr Plate is up and running

Had a beautiful 70s degree day here in Roanoke this weekend. I got started early on a sweet stout to which I'm going to add some cold brewed Chocolate Velvet coffee to at kegging time. I finished with about 6 gallons at 1.044. A noticable miss from the 1.056 I was shoting for. Perhaps a half gallon less would have put me closer. I'm still playing with my new system. But as always a fun time. I had the company of Kevin C. and we sampled some interesting spruce beers he made.

An update on the stir plate. I had to switch to a 500 Ohm pot but it looks like we're in business. As I type it has been stiring water for about 5 minutes. Quite impressive.
