# 2501 - Speckled Hen Clone #brews #ale ## Intro An all full-grain kit produced by [The Malt Miller](https://themaltmiller.co.uk), just hope that I can do justice to the original with this clone. It's been a while since I did battle with full-grain brews, memories of eight hour days. The brew day went well, and fermentation appeared to be OK. ## The Brew Memories of my olden days with full grain brew days taking the best part of eight hours. This was quicker, helped by mashing in the boiler; though I got the sparging a little wrong - left it draining whilst I went for lunch, came back to a rather full boiler; an extended boil brought the volume back down. ![[2501-speckledhen-03 Large.jpeg]] ![[2501-speckledhen-02 Large.jpeg]] Turned out a good brew, worth doing again.
