2.75 Gal water at 175 degrees F.
In the sack I had:

At 45 minutes remaining I remembered to add 2 lbs of Muntons...

I also now have a Barley Crusher barley mill, and hope to improve my efficiency. 75% would be great, anything above that would be icing on the cake. Not a very scientific...

First we found that the gas line to the stove was leaking. After careful consideration we determined that keeping all of our appendages was crucial, so we carried the half-heated brewpot to the other stove on the premises (of course it's good to have two stoves for circumstances like these).
