Maybe I did something right? Bwaaahaaahaaa!
LOL, actually that batch was doomed from the start! I Mashed and lautered just fine but that's where everything devolved! My regulator screwed up and no gas would flow. I jacked around with the regulator for 45 minutes, then I drove to Lowes to buy another regulator but found out they don't have high pressure regulators so I went to the fireplace store. They "could order one, but it won't be here for 4 days". I'd already jacked around for 2.5 hours (with the wort in the kettle in my driveway). The LHBS is 45 minutes away and it's getting dark.
I carried 6 gallons of lukewarm wort inside and straddled two burners of my electric stove with the kettle and wrapped it with aluminum foil and that silver bubble wrap duct insulation. One hour later I attained a weak boil (after the duct insulation caught fire twice), and continued the boil. I had one more fire during the boil. I think I finished around 1 AM on a work night and still had to clean my equipment.
This batch was the first one I did that required a blowoff tube (as I discovered the next evening when returning home dead tired from work.
So 7-8 hours, FWH for 3 hours, three fires, probably 6 homebrews, countless swear words, 40 miles on the truck, one burner and one stovetop for a simple all grain 5 gallon batch of beer is a new record for me.
In the end, it was worth it. Excellent beer. Maybe you should add a few more steps to your recipe?
