Hello from Brazil - Any other female brewers?

[camilagss]

Oh, I have done that. Once.

Fortunately, I'm smart enough to not have done it twice.

I don't know what that is in celsius, but 153 degrees in farenheit is flippin' hot, in case you were wondering.

Hahaha, that's about 67C and it's WAY too hot.

So I spent this entire morning buying stuff and getting everything ready. Bought a new Mash Tun with Bazooka Screen, bought Cascade Leafs for the Dry Hop, bought ice, the whole thing.

It's 3pm and I was boiling my water for the mash, it got to the right temperature, I threw the grains and started to stir.

Until I realized I hadn't attached the Bazooka. =/

Lost all the grains and don't have a mill here at home, so no brewing for me today. I'm all kinds of upset at myself right now.

It happened to me a few times until I figured out what was wrong, rule of thumb, don't start drinking until your first hop addition. I haven't forgot it since.

WORST part is: I was completely sober. I hadn't had a single beer.

hahaha...maybe my rule doesn't apply to you.

Maybe THAT was the problem! hahaha.

I think we found the problem. You need to appease the brewing gods.

For me, today was a Wee Heavy brew day, but the drinking along with it was heavier. I think we were just replacing the beer we drank rather than making more...

Aw MAN! I'm sorry that happened to you, Camila.

Well as you say - that's a mistake you're not likely to make again.

If we could just all learn from EACH OTHER'S mistakes, huh?

Sending you good luck for tomorrow's attempt.

It was suppose to be today, but the guy who was going to mill my grains didn't show up (that sounded dirty, didn't it?)

Anyway, I'll try to do it sometime this week, hopefully. :rockin:

Just don't be too hard on the no show lacky doode. Rumor has it you bust 'em up pretty bad.

He might just break a bone or / and leave town.
