Going to grab a propane burner this weekend as I really want to do full boils. Here's my question/questions:
1. Do you risk more contamination doing this outside?
2. Do I do ALL steps outside (i.e. boil, cool down using a wort chiller, transfer to fermentor, agitating and yeast pitch?
It just seems that doing all of this out side really ups the possibility of contamination, however, I can't see myself hauling a full 5 gallon boil from my deck into the house after boil for all the remaining steps.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated!
PS - totally unrelated....anyone ever combine sorachi hops with simcoe hops?
