I finely took the advice and RELAXED. I made Yoopers Dead Guy clone twice in a row. I figured as a noob with 4 batches under my belt. Back to back with the same recipe would help with my process. Here is how it went....
7PM Sat.. Had a Homebrew or two
8pm gathered gear and washed it out
8:30PM had more Homebrew
7am Coffee
Used an APP on my phone to calc water volumes and temp. Rather then try to guess how much will boil off.
7:30 hot water in to warm mash run
8AM began heating mash water and started mash hit temps right on for the first time.
10:30am sparge completed didn't care about volume or readings figured the APP would be smarter then me.
10:45am Relaxed.... went to Costco figured I could start the boil when I got back.
1pm Relaxed had a Homebrew and started the boil.
2:30pm Chilled it to about 100.
Put it in the fermenter to finish cooling
3pm went to a birthday party and had a couple homebrews.
8pm still over 90deg figured I pitch it in the AM
Relaxed and had a couple homebrews...
5AM got up for work took a SG reading 1.066 perfect!!! pitched my yeast...
I could not beleve that by just not being in a hurry every thing went great! This had to be the most relaxing brew I have made. It only took three days to make it.
