I just moved to a new place and today I tried my first brew there. At my last place I had a fantastic routine and lay out. With a new place though, today I had to reinvent everything.
I had a lot of issues but the worst was when I realized I had to carry my wort down stairs to the basement to cool it. Wasnt able to connect my wort chiller in the kitchen (I didn't really plan this one well).
With a last second thought that maybe I should put on my grilling apron (Oh yes, and I love it) I slowly began carrying my 5.5 gallons of 210 degree wort down the steps. It was all fine until I apparently got some sloshing at the very end - I only found out when I heard a noise and then felt. .. extreme heat throughout my, well, lower torso.
The pic shows the apron caught some of the wort but you'll have to believe me my shorts and under-area took the majority of the wort.
Plus I missed my target OG. Brewing in a new place - it's not my fav.
