Dear Brewhouse forums.....(for those of us old enough)..
Nope, not one of those posts.
I built up an electric system so I could brew through the year. I've got it dialed in a bit, still some to go.
Today however, I had a day to brew. So, last night I milled the grain and measured the water etc..
This morning, I woke up as normal, picked up my phone, and started my strike water(not normal).
I laid in bed procrastinating(normal) then got up ~7:30 wandered downstairs to strike water at temp.. so I throw on the pump and mash in..
I take my shower, get coffee etc..
8:30 rolls around, and I mash-out, batch sparge etc..
At any rate, noon rolls around, and I am finishing my clean-up. I pitch yeast, and head upstairs.
The wife says "I thought you were planning a brew-day today?"
Thought goes through my head, "Can I get another one in today?"
Normal brew day runs ~4-5PM.
Amazing how something as simple as pre-milling the grain and setting up the water can cause such a time differential.
