Weighed everything out to make a batch of my house ale. Little brother liberated a keg for my nieces wedding this weekend(in CA and I am not going, flying kills my back). She requested it and it is my gift to them. Little brother is taking it with on the plane(no clue how he is getting that by the TSA... his problem! He sad they would allow it as checked baggage and he has a box to hide what it is with lots of padding. Told him as soon as gets there tonight to put it under 30psi for 24 hours to make sure it is carbonated).
Kind of killed my plan to make an IPA today but with the heat we had brewing wasn't an option anyway, 94 degrees and 56% humidity. Little cooler tomorrow so I will replenish the house ale everyone loves. Got the brew rig prepped, water in the mash tun, grains crushed. All I have to do is turn the burner on and as the mash water heats I can fill the HLT(has a tiny leak from the thermometer if I leave it full overnight, need to fix that one of these days!) and start it heating on a low burner after I mash in. Might do the 5 gallon IPA batch Sunday if I have the energy left... might be a couch potato and watch NASCAR instead LOL.
