Brewed what I hope to be my house ale this past weekend. I think I'll name it Danger Zone Amber Ale.
First time attempting an overnight mash, ended up being 8 hrs.
Well, my temp dropped from 156 to 130. Hoping it didn't harm anything too much.
The rest went well, up until my I discovered my hose was frozen, rendering the wort chiller useless.
After I parked the kettle in a fresh snow bank, I realized I couldve used the washing machine hookups. Oops!
So, 4 relaxed hours later, she was down to 75 deg. Pitched onto a portion of a s-o4 cake and off she went.
1 hour later, I had a krausen to make other krausens jealous!
I felt like this was my first go at it, most setbacks I've had in one brew.
Pretty anxious to see how the beer tastes! Holding my breath....
This will be my last overnight mash with my current setup, and I'll be sure the hose is ready to go next time!
