If I ever go to all grain, though, I'm not sure whether I will be outside in January brewing. I may have to do it inside in two pots. SWMBO would love it, though, if I would start brewing outside as she detests the smell (I think it's the hops that she doesn't like). Maybe I can score a turkey fryer off her for my birthday!
Aw c'mon, you're not a REAL Wisconsinite if you're not brewing in a subzero windchill!!!
Up near Amherst they have an annual ice brew- they drive their trucks and brewing rigs onto the lake and brew away. I hear some of them even use water from the lake to brew with. I dunno bout that, but I suppose with the water being so cold and then boiling it anyway.......
The turkey fryer is the key-start dropping hints to SWMBO!
