yay all grain boo stores

Been brewing for a year extract and one partial mash decided today to do my first all grain brew got all my stuff and what do ya know the propane place is closed now I gotta wait till Tuesday to brew

Really? Every grocery store, pharmacy, party store 7-11 and gas station in metro Detroit has blue rhino swap out. You mean there's nothing like that in ALL of Wixom? Not even a Meijers or Krogers?

I have brewed plenty of ag batches on the stove. If you have gas just center over two burners.

Yeah, I agree with Revvy. It might cost you more to do an exchange vs. a refill, but that's a small price to pay to keep your brew day going!

Wixom must have a 7-11. Hell, even the Walgreens in Chicago has blue rhino.

Revvy are you in metro Detroit? I grew up there...

don't gas stations have propane near you?
I got a 20lb tank filled at a Conoco at 1am.

The fact that he hasn't replied means he had an aha moment as soon as he posted and jumped in the car....He probably passed a half dozen blue rhino places on his way to finding out the refill place was closed.

Ah, I grew up in Garden City. Left in 1998 and never looked back!

Oh we have the blue rino Exchange and all that I just like to just take my tank to the refill place that way I only pay for what they put in the tank

Sorry, but that's not a good enough excuse for aborting a brew day. I'm going to need you to turn in your homebrew card now!

Hahaha yeah its all good I just ended up takeing my kids swimming instead ill brew Tuesday morning my next day off not to upset just excited lol

Well, I guess I can't argue about spending time with your kiddos. My daughter is now in college and works fulltime, so I do a lot of brewing to give me something to do! I raised her by myself for 13 years, so I can relate with giving up a weekend for kids...

You must brew on tuesday to keep your homebrewer status, though!

Oh first thing Tuesday mash water will be heating with my coffee o am beyond excited for the jump

Hey good luck on first all grain. I'm sure it'll go smooth. I'm enjoying my first bottle of all grain right now. Glug

2 degrees on mash won't make a huge difference and a gravity difference of .001 is basically not even an issue. I'd say you did great!
