My SWMBO went out of town yesterday so I figured that I would bust out a brew.
Looked at my hops and yeast and figured a nice mild would be good to make. Seeing how I had the hops and yeast for it and the grain bill would be cheap so as not to tap into any funds that I should not tap into.
She left for Chi-town at 10:30am, I was at the LHBS by 10:45, got the grains, went home and set up the brew tower in the driveway. Crushed the grains with my new BC Mill (got it for X-mas ) and was mashing by 12:00.
The brew went great, hit my temps right on. I ended up boiling off a little more then I wanted to so I had to top-off with a gallon of bottled water into the fermenter. Not a big deal being it was a 10 gallon batch. I need to mark my kettle so that I can prevent this next time.
When I was all done I missed my SG by .002 in the +. So my effi was a little better then what I figured it would be. So all good there.
After I was all done I went into my office to input the SG into Beersmith.
Then was when it all went down hill fast.
My screen was in a black DOS mode. And it said that the hard disk was bad and to hit F2 to reset.
While I was brewing my PC crashed..
What a said ending. I have lost all my beer stuff and my porn.
