Hi Folks,
I searched (Google and here) for an answer to this question but couldn't find an exact answer. I want to brew today but it's raining outside. I don't want to move back indoors because I'm addicted to the convenience of outdoor brewing.
Do I need to prevent rain water from getting into the brew pot? It's not pissing down so I don't expect I would collect too much water (I'm not concerned about volume anyway). I found a few threads about brewing with rain water which is not what I want to do. On one of those threads I saw a post by someone saying they do it uncovered and haven't had any problems but the majority of the replies were suggestions on how to cover it. I can certainly put something together to keep the rain out but I won't bother if it's not an issue.
Cheers, Max
