Just to cheer everyone up, whilst filling the water heater this morning to get the mash underway I let the water run across a thermometer to see how hard a job it will be tomorrow when I do the boil.
The result was an amazing 22*C! For Tap Water? In Skegness? In disbelief, I tried another probe with exactly the same result!
I normally start the brew off at 19*C so tomorrow's Brew Day Checklist will start with:
I don't normally mind the high temperatures but please Lord not on Brew Days!

- Place Bottling Bucket in Brew Fridge No.1 set at 8*C.

I read in the paper this eve, it's going to be an indian summer too, with the heat lasting through september through to october.
I knew it was going to be hot ths summer because may day was really warm. I think that the hotter it is earlir on in the summer the hotter the summer will be

Probably. Current conditions are a result of the prevalent blocking situation in the atmosphere and nothing whatsoever to do with 'climate change' as some charlatans would like us to believe. They've happened before and will happen again, but note no high-temperature records have fallen despite the billions of tonnes of CO2 added to the atmosphere since the last round of records were broken. But anyways... current conditions tend to persist for a long time and if there's no change come winter, get ready for Ice Age II. Meanwhile the missus talked me into taking her for a blast on the mobike. Wish she hadn't - feel like I've been microwaved.

Bloody Cockneys!
My sister who moved "darn sarf" (we presume she had a mental breakdown) used to go mad at her son when he went and said things like "fings" and "fink" and "forts" so she was forever telling him "It's THINGS not fings!" or "It's THOUGHTS, not forts!"
She did admit that maybe she had carried this a bit too far after her son dragged her out into the garden one day, pointed at a small amphibian and announced "Look Mum, it's a ... a ... a ... a throg!"
An Indian summer ...loads of curries!
I love Indian summers. More BBQs, beers in the sun and cycle rides , less use of heating oil, no need for your big coat, happy days. 
I love this hot weather. I’m like a cat I just soak it up.
I don’t like being in work kind you, I just tolerate that. To then make it out onto the golf course, brew outdoors, drink and relax outside, BBQ’s...... the list goes on.
The longer the better....
Although I agree with @Chippy_Tea that I thinks it’s gonna be a cold winter off the back of this.

I love the summer, but I guess that we'd better start brewing for winter pretty soon!
A Mars Bar Beer, a couple of Milds, a Chillie Beer and a Premium Bitter should help cope with those long, cold, dark winter nights.
Talking of which, has anyone else noticed that the nights are drawing in really fast now!
Good subject for a thread...Winter brew plans....Dutto starts it as he is in the driving seat....

So we had some family from the missus over yesterday, and they invited us to visit next year. Abu Dabi.

Feck that.

Losing very nearly 4 minutes of sunlight a day, every day now. It's wonderful to behold. Dunno how you guys enjoy brewing in summer heat. To me it's one of those necessary evils. Roll on October, especially the bit where the clocks go back and we 'lose' an hour of evening light in one fell swoop. Luv it!

I'm with Gunge, I was going to play about with a partigyle brew but couldn't bare to spend that long in the kitchen brewing in this heat, also the wasps are out in force again and the like the smell of my boiling wort. :-( My cupboard is already full of dark belgians, a bourbon stout, barleywine and a freshly brewed old ale so I think I'm set for the Scottish winter.
