+Equipment all re-cleaned and re-sanitised in preparation for brew day #7 tomorrow!
+
+If all goes well then I'm hoping this will be the last brew where I use a grain kit and will move on to actual recipes and ordering specific grains, hops & yeast.
+
+The only criteria I have to satisfy is to hit or be very close to my final gravity target.. if I can do that then the brew will have gone well.  In order to achieve that I'll be utilising some kitchen implements (sieve and whisk) to try and increase the oxygenation of the wort before pitching the yeast.
+
+First brew with my wife assisting, should be fun.

+Another very smooth brew day is approaching the final quarter.. decided on a distinct lautering/sparging process separation today and shortened the latter process considerably.. will have to wait and see if this decision impacts my original gravity figure.
+
+Slowly approaching boil, about an hour ahead of my last brew.. and 3 ahead of the brew previous to that.

+Today's brew was (potentially) my best yet, which in all fairness is what you would expect in an iterative learning process.
+
+I made some adjustments to make some of the processes more efficient but unlike earlier attempts they were a direct result of previous lessons learned.
+
+This brew was perhaps my last before the lessons of my brewing & distilling programme settle in so it was personally important for me to use my previous message experiences and adjust accordingly before the bedrock of understanding the scientific processes was formed.
+
+My original gravity target was 1.083, according to my hydrometer I hit about 1.0823 and my refractometer 1.083.. the latter may require tuning.. but if you'll permit a slightly emotion fed response 'ya fuckin dancer'
+
+The big test however is the final gravity, the target is 1.016 and my last 3 brews of this same beer haven't breached 1.041.. so whilst I'm happy with today's brew and I did my best to oxygenate the shit out of the wort.. I'll not be satisfies unless the FG is lower than 1.020
+
+I don't know what these numbers mean either, other than a measure of sugar to water density.

+Day 2 fermentation sounds more active than previous brews, a lot more rapid bubbling in the airlock! I have a good feeling about this, I'm expecting progress with regards to closing in on the elusive Final Gravity target but will it be enough to satisfy my 'exit' criteria?
+
+Delaying yeast dump 1 until tomorrow, then I'll get the first glimpse of how it's going.. fingers crossed that its 1.030 or lower (previous best at end of fermentation is 1.041 with this beer).
