We just finished (!!) working on the living room & dining room walls
at 2am last night. To celebrate I was going to brew my first batch of
all-grain beer today. I had started to clean and prepare all the
important pieces, testing out my new propane burner and my borrowed
kettle and sparging vessel. I was planning on using a yard-sale 5-Gal
Gott cooler as my mashtun and was going to do the boil in the garage
(brr), where the propane burner arrangement is.
Then it hailed. Then snowed. Lots (for Portland). I was worried about
the hose from the house which supplies the water for my chiller
freezing when it occurred to me "This is insane". So I'm not brewing..
I'm drinking a beer instead!
I hope everyone else is warm, suddenly I'm extremely glad we had
insulation blown in the walls just in time for the coldest week I've
experienced in Portland!
