IPA Brewday - Backwoods Brewery

Here' some photos of nailsu1 and myself using our new setup out on the deck for the first outdoor brew of the year. We are getting to know the ins and outs, fine tuning our system, so it was a very successful brew day.

The plate chiller is freakin awsome. If you don't have one and can afford one, you should get one. Instant drop to yeast pitching temps, great for cold break as you can see in the final photo.

It looks like there's still snow on the ground... and you guys are in short sleeves. Hardcore!

Haha yes there is still a meter of ice on the lakes and about 2-3 feet of snow but we have got our first few days of mild weather. +4 in the morning for the brew day but it warmed up to +10 or so.
