So brew day itself was not good. First off, I could not find my brewbag. Realized I left it outside after I brewed last time, things got busy when I knocked out and family time called. No worries I mashed in another kettle that had not spigot or anything. Found an old bag that I used at a sieve. When I started pouring into my boil kettle one side of the bag dropped in taking grain with it. So I got my decoction strainer, my name for it, and poured through it still didn’t catch it all since I crushed fine for BIAB. I took a much finer strainer and scooped out all I could after a few emergency texts to
@Donoroto and proceeded as usual. When I came time to hook up my chiller I could not get the cheap hose on tue outside spigot. So I had to hook the chiller directly to it. No real worries there but still. The boots I was wearing were rubber and hard to get off an on. I pulled something in my leg rushing to pull those off in order to get my fermenter to take outside. Once I get the fermenter and go back out into the snow I fall down, get up take a few steps and fall down again. All done for the day thankfully. Racked on top of a shitload of slurry from the last batch. Didn’t want to fool with that fermzilla lid after the terrible luck. I unscrewed one of the posts and racked through that. This time I did screw it in well so I won’t have the spunding issues I had last batch.
