Traditional IPA's part 1

Recently I've made 2 traditional IPA's possibly for entry to the NCBA Skipton competition, depending how they turn out/mature. I made the first on the 17/04/2010 and due to an error on my brewing spreadsheet I was 17 litres short on batch volume of 50ltr's. To remedy this I sparged the hops, something I've not done before, good fun and it worked. I also made an error when measuring the sugar points on wort collection, ending up 5 gravity points above my target gravity at the fv. I think the error occurred due to not stirring the wort properly before taking a sample for the refractometer, but it also may have something to do with trying to first wort hop almost 1.5kg of hops.....lesson learned ! The ferment went well and it has been racked to corny with IG, and will soon be re-racked to get it off the sediment. I kept the beer for 1 week at 5 deg c and racked to corny, adding IG when at cellar temps. I will be racking some to bottle condition this week, and maturing the rest in bulk, bottling nearer the time. Hopefully it will condition in time but it may be too big. So some pictures, the grain..all 20kg of it, the mash...80ltr thermobox looking quite full ! the HERMS recirc, sparging the mash.
