Glad to see a lot of people are using CO monitors.

I brew in the garage in the winter with the garage door cracked too. With the steam produced from the HLT and kettle, the temp in there can rise to 20 above ambient.

I brewed a week or so ago and set up my CO monitor out there with the door closed, just for ****s and giggles. Even with just one burner going (full blast, nice blue flame) the CO monitor was reading 30ppm in a few minutes!

So just common sense stuff...ventilation, away from flammables, keep the tank as far from the flame as the hose will allow, etc.

Brew on!

I need the snowshoes to beat down a path to my composter, so I can dump the spent grain. It's a pain to be post-holing through the snow with a cooler of grain.

I'm rarely cold. I do that 10 feet from my front door. I'm inside most of the time. The only real problem is that my hands often get wet, and when it's -10F or colder, the wet hands freeze and stick to metal.

Note that in cold weather like that, the air is quite clean, and there is less chance of something 'dropping in' than there is in the summer.
