A three day weekend? That sounds like the perfect time to brew...except I am spending most of it at my parents house. That's ok, I can brew there! My Dad always takes an interest in my hobbies and after tasting some of my brews, he wanted to be part of the process. What a perfect opportunity!
Except...my efficiency was only 60%. I do BIAB, but usually hit 75%. My OG was supposed to be 1059, but only hit 1046...ugh.
It took forever for the wort to come to a boil on their gas stove (I never have a problem in my apartment). Not a big deal, but a pain in the butt.
Then, while putting on the airlock, the rubber seal on my ale pail fell into the bucket! I had to sanitize my arm and reach in to get it out!
Worst part is, I couldn't RDWHAHB since I was at my parents. The only beer they had...Corona
Hope everyone's Labor Day brews went better.
