Mashed in for the first time in 15 months

[onthekeg]

I never thought I would quit brewing, but I did. Lots of life happened in the meantime. So, it is time to fill the kegs again! Making my Red Comet, with Comet hops of course.

Hope it works out, I have about 300lbs of grain that is going to have a birthday or recently did!

So far it has been, I ran the HLT to 180 mashed in and I was rolling at 152 deg in the cooler. I even added the 1/4 tsp of bss to eliminate the chloramine as I was dumping the water into the HLT. So far so good!!

Yea, I have lots of grain to brew with. I am going to do back to back 15 gallon batches tonight. I am about ready to mash in on the second one. Helps to have 2 mash tuns.

By the sounds of things you've got the resources to brew enough to stockpile for 15 months and not run out. Welcome back to brewing, we're all here for life.
