My first outdoor brew day

[HoppyMaltPoet]

2 weeks ago I brewed for the first time outdoors. I have been brewing indoors doing the split pot method. It generally takes me about 9 hours from start to cleanup. It took me quite a bit longer this time but it was mostly due to getting use to things. I think I should be able to get this down to 5 hours. I brewed a Kolsch this day. Any way here are a few pics. I figured I would share.

Nice blichmann. I use my water the same way. Try throwing some spent grain in that flower bed.

I throw spent grain in my hop beds. I haven't thrown them in the vegetable garden yet.
