Anyone up?

[chopps]

Not exactly an insomniac here, I love my sleep but the dog woke me up at 4.00am for a pee and that’s it. Wide awake. So I’m sat in the shed here at 5am waiting for the water to come up to temp. 51 degrees C. Won’t be long now :)

Can’t beat an early start, there’s always the brewers breakfast to look forward to

I hope to be done in time for the F1 at 10am :)
Normally still going mid afternoon or later. And now I’m hungry too, cheers !

It's an hour later here (07:00) but I've just turned on the sparge kettle and am about to weigh grain.

Gas went on just after 6. Always brew early on Sundays to get it wrapped up with minimal disruption to the family weekend.

I might make a habit of this. It’s quite a chill out. Everyone still in bed, dark outside. big mug of tea and the radio on (quietly!). And I have just hit my target mash gravity. Bliss.

Morning campers!
Just about to get up and start making the bread...

 

[chopps]

I bet you built your own bread making gadget too.

Heh! Well I did make a little temperature controlled water bath when I was first getting the starter going a few years back :)

I started an hour ago, mash still has about 45 minutes. Dark, lashing down and blowing a hoolie AND I brew outdoors! Thankfully I do have a roof over my head.

Sunday morning. Lying in bed with a book and a cup of tea. Might get up mid morning and pootle around with some racking and bottle labels. Sit in front of the fire for the rest of the day in the knowledge of a job well done and listen to the wind and the rain outside while musing over the next recipe.
It's a hard life, innit!

When I’m brewing I tend to get up at six or earlier to make a start tend to mean I am done by 10 and ready for breakfast.

Today however is Sunday I briefly got up to pitch the yeast for yesterdays brew as it has cooled now and get a cup of tea. I’m now trying to work out if there will be a brief dry spell this morNing or if I can face walking to the newsagent in the rain for the paper.

I quite like walking in the rain as long as I can stay dry - with this wind that’s going to be unlikely

Alas today is both wet and windy, that said looks like it has slowed to a drizzle so I am off to get the newspaper while I can.

Yesterday I had a Lazy morning and started my Pilsner quite late, it was dark when I finished cleaning. My grainfather was a little burnt at bottom so I’d left water and pbw to soak !
Will need a rinse
OG came good though at 1.060 and 24L in my fermenter

Still on track for the FI, @chopps ?

 

[chopps]

Almost!

 

[NormanHurst]

All done. 11.5L of Porter in the fridge. Lallemand Windsor just pitched. Now off for a walk.

All done - bread worked out well, as did the SD pizza
flippin’ knackered! I need a beer or three...
