Hey folks, I was hoping to brew tomorrow but temps will be very low (10F/-12C) with some wind. I have brewed in freezing temps but never this low. I mostly worry about maintaining mash temps as the idea of reheating the mashtun and constantly stirring to reheat send a shiver through my body. I also have to worry about freezing spigot, hose and chiller. I am brewing a Czech pils and often step mash, another stirring the mash tun.
Who's brewed at these temps? Is it worth it? Currently leaning to putting it off. I hate to do this as I am leaving on Tuesday for a week. Thoughts and thanks for replies?
