After 20 plus batches...today was the worst. One of those everything that can go wrong did days...
First wake up early to get done early...nope...go downstairs at 630 and fire up BCS, already filled with water from last night...can't adjust set point!!! Wtf@#$%...
After overy an hour to fix that issue...by now it's nearly 9 ...
Using my new refractometer. ..check pre boil. ..1.025 not too bad...fast easy...little low ...
After losing various fittings and hoses...
Post boil...1.038!! @#$%... first time ever I had that low???
German Pilsner...15 pounds grain...
I did do step mash...145 20 m...158 30...then 170 10. That's the only thing I haven't done before...
Sigh...pitched then in fridge to cool to 50 to pitch yeast...
Probably fridge will quit...
I love brew days!!
At least I can laugh about it now...
