So, I recently moved to Omaha, NE. Seems we have ALOT of wind here, so much that my flame blew out 3 times before I set up a pathetic wind screen built from drywall I had sitting around. Needless to say, the entire brew day was screwed because of the wind.
Bringing water up to temps took twice as long; getting the wort to boil took 40 minutes (usually takes much less).
So, in effect, it took twice as long to brew, I used more than twice the about of propane (I'm guessing), AND I had to sit there the whole time and make sure my pathetic wind screen didn't fall down and blow into the flame.
Amazing, I moved from the south, where we rarely had noticeable wind, to here, and my whole brewing days must be planned around wind.
Freaking wind!
