Finally back under 100

Well, since it is finally back to a cool 97 degrees outside, guess I will be brewing today.

Hope you have a pre chiller.

What are you brewing up today?

Hey, yeah, it is only supposed to be 97 here on Saturday, maybe I will be able to brew too:rockin:

Jeez and I thought it was HOT today at 68f. Actually I think I can remember a time when it did get to 80f here a while back. I can't remember, in all my 50 years, of having experienced any temps over 80f. At least outside, lol.

Do you ever get used to it?

Come to Nebraska boo boo..I'll show you 98F, and 90% relative humidity...which means sweating doesn't do anything to cool you off cuz it won't evaporate.

Its even worse down south.

The humidty is what we get here, lol.
After all I live on an Island that gets the combined contributions of the gulf stream and the labrador current.
It's the tempertures combined with humidity I can't handle.
Right now it is a comfortable 18c and 83% humidity.
After it gets to 23c I feel uncomfortable, lol.

Edit... and by gulf stream I mean the gulf of Mexico.

It was 102F here today (39C) with about 30% humidity. That's not too bad. Later this week the humidity will be going up and 94F will feel like hell. But, I will be making beer in the shade with a glass of homebrew in my hand and a few in my belly so all will be good.

By the end of this week, I believe that we will be at day 27 and 28 where the temps were 110 or greater. Last year was 19.

I would be IN the cooler with the beer, lol.

Instead of a prechiller, I use a HUGE catering cooler full of ice water with a 50' coil of copper in it. Use it like a counterflow. Actually had to warm the beer up a bit to pitch today. Made an APA. Luckily it was in the garage, so only had to spend about an hour total time in the heat. rest of it was kickin back in the ac reading posts.

thats crazy all the high summer temperatures you get in the US. Here in Ireland as well as the UK its been nothing but ****ty rain most of the summer. it hasnt been much of a summer tbh with temps where i live rarely reaching over 20oC/68oF
