Living here in this wonderful tax you to death state we have this fun time when you can go outside and turn into a Popsicle called winter. Low 20's at night for the last week. Please shoot me.
Anyways I use my garden hoses to bring cold well water to my wort chiller as well as power washing my keggle and such. Now that I had to drain all my water sources I had to scramble to chill my wort.
I brewed yesterday and used my pool vacuum hose as the warm water run off duct taped to my chiller and tapped directly into my well tank in my garage to get water to the wort chiller. Actually worked fantastic. I had one of those cloth type POS garden hoses I basically use to run from my sink to the hot tub to add water during the winter. Since all my hose reels are frozen solid this crappy hose was my savior.
Have any helpful winter brewing tips?
