Here's an interesting tipple I picked up from the fantastic off license/shop at the Hog's Back Brewery - If you like Beer go there and buy some they have EVERYTHING. Delerium Nocturnum - A cracking dark winter style beer perfect for the recent cold weather. Strong at 8.5% and a substantial sweet malty mouthfull it is.
Now today was brewday at the Groovy brewery and English Pale ale was on the agenda:

I didn't go overboard with the hops even though I picked up 250gms of Goldings from the Hogs back and they were the most aromatic I've ever had - lovely!
Heres a pic of the second runnings in the mash tun:

I was planning for 25 litres at 1052 but got 22 at 1054 because I treat brewing as more of an art than a science - Yes I'm a bit thick.
Here is a pic of the wort going into the fermenter via the counterflow cooler. I did try immersion coling but it takes longer so I'm back with the hosepipe - It does do a very good job of cooling.
