I recently purchased a 15 gal brew kettle and a burner ring.
I knew it would be a bit risky brewing outside due to the weather the past few months, haven't gone more than a couple days with out a few straight days of rain.
So I get the water almost to a boil and it starts raining. So I shut the burner off.
Now it's raining just enough to worry about contamination of the wort. Barely raining.
Debating weather or not to get back to brewing, don't want to keep the pot covered, but I'm not sure if I should take the chance. No idea what's in that rain. Or iif it will start down pouring. Knowing my luck as soon as the malt is in the clouds will open up.
OK, with a few bungee cords and an out door table umbrella brew day can be saved.
I took a chance, and about half way thru the boil it started raining again.
