Hey everyone,
Talk about a rookie mistake. It's 4:51 AM my time and it looks like the 5 hour brewing sessions turned into a 7.5 or 8 hour session. The roommate and girlfriend are both asleep and I just finished cleanup. I figured I'd offer some newbie wisdom to others starting out.
When you need to be up early for work the next day, don't start brewing at 9:00 PM even when you think you'll only be up until 2:00 AM.
The good news is, I don't think I made any stupid mistakes. We'll see. My favorite part was when I set alarms to wake me up every twenty minutes on my phone to check the temperature of the wort cooling in the sink. Good times.
Anyway, that's it for the late night babble. Off to bed!
Best,
Mark
