Nothing better than taking off Friday afternoon to brew some beers and smoke some pork butt. Hell yes. And though the clouds threatened to rain on me, it never got worse than a light sprinkle. I brewed the Tripel Twins...two batches, same recipe, one gets Chimay yeast (WLP500), the other gets Rochefort (Wyeast 1762).
So I left work around 11:15 and went to the Super Reid Market...pretty ghetto, but the best pork in town. Dropped a measly $29 on this massive butt:
Then I raced across town to the UPS distribution center to pick up my new 15 gallon kettle. Here she is, next to one of my old 8 gallon pots. Holy hell, she is pretty!
Got the chimney going for the smoker
Milled my grains and was mashed in by 12:30:
(yes, my patio was a bloody mess, but it's been cleaned up since)
