I'm sitting on the couch, trying to decide if I'm gonna. I brew outside, an the temp right now is in the upper 30s, and won't get higher than 42F. I don't mind brewing in the cold, it's the cleanup and all that splashing water that gives me pause. I'm planning on a batch of Jamil's Ol' Yule Loggy from
Brewing Classic Styles.
