First all grain a DISASTER

"Weird" seems apt
Given the chronology I'm wondering what brought you back after 8 years off...

Cheers!

Mostly having the ability to do so. I recently moved from an apartment to my own house, so I have much more room to brew. I transferred to keg yesterday, and have my next brew day set for tomorrow. Glad to be brewing again, and I can't wait to get that first cold pint.

Ah - that totally makes sense, and congrats! :mug:

Hope you have many brew days ahead!

Cheers!

Just remember the immortal words of experience and wisdom from the late, great (and no doubt all grain brewer) Roseanne Roseannadanna:
"It's always something..."

I thought it was her father? :mug:

You may be right on that. But she always said something else that many of us have thought to ourselves at least once during a "challenging" brew day:

"I thought I was gonna to die!!"

Last night, just as I was finishing my wort chiller run, a pincers beetle landed on the lid and raced towards the crack where the wort chiller tubes stick out. I tried to flick him off, but he was too quick and got through the crack and INTO MY CHILLED WORT!! I had already dumped my sanitizer except for a small bowl full inside. Do I run in to sanitize my hands while he swims in the wort, or do I touch it with unsanitized hands to fish him out? I did the latter. I'm using Kveik, so I am pretty sure my Cream Ale will be fine.
