Gotta love cool weather and brewing

[lumpher]

Sitting in the garage, wort boiling, drinking a good stout, and listening to good music. 60 degrees is perfect. Monday has been set right

Presumably the floods and tornadoes are done for the season... ;-)

 

[lumpher]

Yessir, I believe they are. Couldn't anything go wrong, at least on a night like tonight.

 

[MaxStout]

About the same as here--around 60. We've been having a warm spell here this fall. It's not often the temps in Minnesota in November are the same as in Texas.

But 60 is about perfect for a brew day.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

y'all misspelled 70F wrong.

 

[Rhumbline]

Oh Yeah!

It got down to 78 last night, 96 today. Gonna be breaking out the long johns soon.

 

[lumpher]

Nope. Spelled it right with a 6, not a 7. I've been in Texas almost 20 years, but I still like cool weather.

Me be serious?!? How dare you! That's a serious accusation...

 

[unionrdr]

Can't wait for the Hellfire IIPA to finish up & clear so I can make final additions to it. Then get the mumme' going. It's been down into the 40's & 50's here. Rainin' today...

Did the same thing on Saturday night, you must be in North Texas. The temp was great.

Yep, right down the street from you in Arlington.

Cool weather is 60? It's 37 and I went outside to run 6 miles. Cool is 40-50. Hot is 100. 60 is just annoying because it's too cold for an extra layer but too warm for a jacket.

 

[lumpher]

Another 60 degree night here in North Texas. Another brew cooking. Nut Brown ale boiling, good music playing. Life is good once again.

Just brewed an Arrogant Bastard clone with some buddies the other night.

That's a lotta beard.

That's a lotta beard.

They guy in the middle & the guy on the left are my buddies...I am the one in the shadows.

I have a beard, just not as long as theirs, see mine here:

 

[lumpher]

There is definitely something to say about brewing in moderate temps. Not cold, not hot. No stress and no hurry

 

[Psylocide]

Brewed an IIPA last Saturday, high was 13, wind was 15-25 out of the northwest. Wind chill ~-5.

I had one door open halfway, and the burner kept it around 30 in the garage.

Was a great day for brewing. No beard pics unfortunately... But it was covered in BBQ sauce and RIS.

It's been -12F around here lately, with blustery winds & snow. Damn Alberta clippers. 28F this morning, we're having a tropical heat wave around here!

I was sweating in bed last night. Must have been above 20F.

And actually they are calling for a "mixture" of precipitation and some rain. Very odd for mid-January. Better get the snowblower out tonight before the snow gets too heavy.

Hopefully it will be warm enough to brew outside this weekend!

Seriously, every Sunday Ive decided to smoke, the next day has been in single degree weather.... Ive managed, but Im getting sick of it. I can brew in whatever weather since Im electric, but my word, just let me smoke some butts in something higher than 8 degree weather...

 

[lumpher]

Got some dedicated brewers here. I have a hard time getting out there when it gets below 45.

 

[unionrdr]

Been in the mid to upper 20's ;ately...we're having a tropical heatwave around here!

 

[Rockn_M]

I don't think j could survive with being in the 20's. Today is in the 70's and this weekend is almost 75. Time to break out the outdoor equipment.

 

[Terek]

did you just really say 60 was cool weather brewing!?!?! Whatever. I just brewed a week ago and it warmed up to 38. Had to put a tee shirt on, it was so warm. It has been in the low teens for the high, and below 0 at night lately

Forecast calls for it going up to 40° F this weekend. I'm planning on brewing. Anything above freezing, in the winter, is ideal. It's above freezing, so my hoses/chiller/pump don't freeze up while they're sitting around, but it's still winter, so the ground water is cold enough that I can chill 5 gallons down to 60° F in about 2-3 minutes (yay plate chiller!).

 

[JonM]

Heck, I'm excited for 40° F this weekend! I'll be brewing and grilling and treating it like a Spring weekend!

 

[Rhetorik]

30s here, hitting the 40s over the weekend. One more month of bull**** weather, then hopefully it'll start getting nice outside... I want to ride my damn motorcycle!!!
