Anybody ever done an overnight brew?

Yuri_Rage · Nov 3, 2007

I'm not talking about mashing overnight, I'm talking about a standard AG brew, starting after midnight. I'm working on switching my schedule from a 9-5-ish workday to a 11-8-ish workday. So, I mashed in around 3 AM today. So far, so good. Who's with me?

I work 7pm - 7 am. I'm always waking up at odd hours on my days off. Like today, I woke up wide awake a 4:15 am. Perfect time to brew.

I'm on your shift.

Boiling now. It smells so good.

If I still worked at night I would.
When I did the neighbors in my apartments thought I was either a crack pot or a drunk. It wasn't unusual for me to have a few beers after work at 7:AM. Didn't really care who saw me either.

I routinely mash and collect the night before, simmer overnight, and boil the next morning at 6:30am.

EDIT: Not really what you asked though...

I did that a couple times in college. Why not???

This thread has been resurrected from the dead. I figured as much as soon as I read the title and saw who the OP was.

Way off topic... but... simmer over night? Why?

im guessing to keep it near boiling but without losing wort to evaporation

I'm always brewing at 1 in the morning, I always wonder what my neighbors think.

I've brewed over night but the only thing i dont like is clean up when its dark. when the light hits the stuff you thought you cleaned then all kinds of hop residue etc. show up that you never saw.

Trying to see the thermometer is the biggest pain in the ass to me.

trailblazer · Dec 29, 2009

i can agree with the thermometer thing too. the only light i usualy use is from a fire i make in my backyard so i have to angle the thermometer towards the fire to see it. huge pain in the rear! i could turn on a porch light but whats the fun in that?
