I think it's full, but there may be an alternate list you can get on.Got a link to this comp of which you speak, er, type?
I think the brewing gods are just cranky today. I'm supposed to be finishing up a proposal but said, "Screw it, I'm brewing" too. It's not going well. For the first time in a very long time I missed my mash temp and even adding boiling water isn't getting it up where it needs to be. There just isn't enough room in the cooler. My kitchen sink garden hose adapter failed, partly flooding the kitchen. And the wind has picked up wildly, blowing all sorts of stuff into my sparge water any time I lift the lid (and presumably will do the same to the the kettle when I can finally get it going). My normally well-choreographed brew day is going about as well as a kindergarten dance recital. Oy.I think the work gods are pissed that Im brewing today. Milling grains as usual with my Barley Crusher with one hand on the drill, the other pouring grain into the hopper (I have the small one.) Something in the grain got caught and jammed the mill. It lifts out of the bucket and spins, catapulting grain across the room. This wasnt a simple spill. Four pounds of grain bounced off the wall and scattered everywhere. Not a good start to this brewday!
Took an American Wheat off the Pacman cake last night. Got to keep it going!oh man... you have pacman in your inventory, I am trying to
So far no additional problems. Just going slow. Pretty windy here too. Think I'll boil inside. Hope the day has gotten better for you.I think the brewing gods are just cranky today. I'm supposed to be finishing up a proposal but said, "Screw it, I'm brewing" too. It's not going well.

Ahh, but the spirit here was to brew even if you should be doing something else. Maybe this should be followed by a, "what is the most inappropriate time you've brewed?" thread. Someone out there has to have brewed on Mothers Day.Looking very good. I wish I had time to brew today. Maybe another brew day this weekend.
I agree. It would be nice to see more posts with this title line. Good inspirational reading for those at work."SCREW IT, I'M BREWING..."
Just those four words bring joy to my heart.
Nice. I love experiments. Be interested to hear the results.Two gallons of the wort were pitched with Nottingham. The other 4.5 gallons were pitched onto the yeast cake of the Boddington's clone I just finished -- London Ale III (Wyeast 1318).
I use to struggle with pre-boil volume all the time. Now I drain the first running completely, measure that volume and sparge using the HLT sight glass to hit right on the predicted volume. Im going with the hot side aeration is a myth for homebrewers theory. Havent had a problem with it yet.Managed to get my mash temperatures under control (I think) but ended up over on the total volume.
This'll be my first batch from the sack of Crisp MO you sent out. Great taste raw. Looking forward to the results.
I used some of the Crisp in one of my brews a couple of weeks ago. The samples taste amazing. I do think I like it better than the Munton's but it is still too early to say for sure.
Resistance is futile!I am desperately resisting the urge to brew the house ale while I wait because I too have a proposal due soon .
Nice! What do you have planned?. . . but I will be brewing this afternoon.
Nice! What do you have planned?
Jason and I both work from home, so playing hooky is relative. It's more a matter of shuffling the hours.I wanted to play hooky today. I really did. I'm just too darn responsible! I hate my moral compass! A nice all Fuggles E.S.B. was the plan...now I'm just sad.
Never done a Hefeweizen with Saaz. How does this recipe work out, or is this a first for you?The Hefeweizen . . . 1 oz 3.2% Saaz @ 90. . . . 5 oz 3.2% Saaz @ 5
