Was heating up my strike water when I realized that something was off.

Turns out my digital thermometer is off by 5 degrees somehow.

Then I got rained on for 25 minutes during my boil. Not in the forecast, just a freak shower.

Tried very hard to RDWAHAHB.

Still. Hit my OG right though. So I guess it turned out well. 1.041 for the blonde.
 
It rained through the whole day on my last brew day. Turned out ok aftter all. That's what I get for brewing on a Florida Summer afternoon. :p
 
Can you calibrate one thermometer in an ice bath? The digital may be right. Check thermapen's site for info on a proper ice bath and calibration.

In the end you hit your numbers and made beer. Nicely done but I'm sure it was aggravating.
