When Brewing Sessions Go Wild!
Howdy all, Thought I'd take a few days off work and do a brew on my newly upgraded brewrig. This sounded like a good idea but when put into practice I went a little something like this.. Brew Day, James Squire Golden Ale Clone. Get up at 3am (when son wakes us up) settle him and turn the HLT. Testing out the new 2400watt element newly installed into the kettle. This works fine no drama or anthing. Get up and start to MASH in around 7am, tip the grain in the MLT, the crush looks a little different so i double check that it is crushed.. Yup it is but maybe my mill was on the wrong settle.. too late now!... to the HERMS pot on and get upto the 65.5c required for this recipe.. underlet 22lt into the MLT from the HLT, everything is going great guns at the moment... Its been awhile since i've brewed but after the water hits the grain you get a hit of that smell.. OHHHH i remember this smell! loving it at the moment.. Connect up the hoses to the pump/herms/mlt and kick it off.
