I will be coming up to the UP one of these days…. Right now its just bitter cold… even for Chicago….. Its even cold south of the mason dixon line where i am at the moment. The cold weather just seems to follow me around. Not much of a snowbird, but I do have friends in Iron Mountain, Kingsford, and Florence. Its a small community there and everyone knows everyone. When it gets warmer Ill head up to the north woods though. Maybe have a drink at the curve, soul blue, or the pizza place across the street. I heard they have two hearted on tap there. Know anybody on lake elwood?

I will also try to get up to houghton sometime.

I know alot of people on Lake Elwood and lots more on Lake Elwood Road. It's a mile from my house on North Lake rd.
If you are referring to Blackstone Pizza, I am not to sure what they have on tap, but I've eaten there a few times.

I did the same thing last week, teacher with a snow day so I brewed some saison. It was too cold to use my outside spigot so I did a no chill beer, sat it in the snow for a few hours. I had a weak boil at first but that was due to my tank running on fumes.

Finally gave up waiting for the cold to break here in New York and decided to move back to the stovetop.

Haven't brewed an extract kit in two years (or 70 batches). I'm interested to see if this extract batch is better than my earlier extract batches.

Brewing up a British Mild as a not so subtle hint to mother nature.

Jiminy Crickets - how do you keep that garage from flooding straight through when it rains?

It was about 15º degrees this morning in Michigan. Finally got my faucet adapter for my wort chiller im cooling inside from now on even in the summer pitching temps in roughly 20 minutes

Wow...never thought so much about it but...i think the ground drains very well there. However...our biggest problem is to get rid of the snow.

Hey Mods - can I buy a vowel?

It looks like this thread might have some legs and every time I see a post I flashback to third grade and Sister Mary Theresa. Would appreciate it if we can get an extra 'o' in the original post - it's traumatizing me.

I brew in my garage year around. I have a CO2 meter that I use to make sure the air quality is fine. I open the garage door about 4 inches and open a side window about 2 inches during the time that the burner is on. I have found that with a blichman burner and this amount of fresh airflow that the carbon monoxide levels do not rise and that the garage will warm up to be comfortable with a coat. My garage is a double car and I move both cars out and set up some folding tables. When the burner of off you can close the door down to hold in the heat. I have found that there is no reason to open the garage door totally open. I do use a piece of 2x4 to block the door open so that it cannot accidently close.
