Misc Bill
----------------
Single step Infusion at 67°C for 90 Minutes.
Fermented at 15°C with S04 Yeast
Recipe Generated with BrewMate
Recipe changed a bit from what was intended as this was a user-upper and I didn't have quite enough of all the malts I was planning to use. Similarly, I used S04 because it's all I'd got in, so I've used absolute minimum fermenting temperature to try and minimise the blow-off of hop aroma during fermentation.
Some problems with this brewday. Only got 1.044, which is disappointing but I'm going to put down to old grains. I also had a problem in the new kitchen with steam (see picture below). Steam everywhere, didn't want to clear out of the open window or the door into the living room, where the window was also open. It was collecting on the ceiling, on the extractor, which I had to turn off because it was causing serious problems with localised condensation on the ceiling that was hard to wipe off. Anyway, the liquid that had condensed on the surfaces was wort coloured, not clear, which I thought was weird. Anyway, I'm a bit worried that I'm going to have to stop brewing if I can't find a way to solve the condensation problem.

Condensation....
to brew in the kitchen. I brew on a worktop in the garage next to two open windows and a open door, and even then I get condensation on the ceiling. As long as you ventilate well afterwards you should be ok.
