Big Brew Day Pics
Well, Big Brew Day on Saturday went pretty well. We had about 8 or 9 batches going, and quite a few people there.
I hit all the numbers on my recipe, but had a few mishaps. First, I ran some extra sparge water off into one of my Better Bottles…bad idea (don’t really know what I was thinking). It shrunk up pretty good and I had to borrow a fermenter from O’Fallon (thanks Dave).
I also forgot sunscreen. It didn’t feel hot, but man, I got roasted. Lessons learned.
Anyway, below are a bunch of pics of the festivities. I’ll post the recipe down the road, after the beer has been tasted. It’s quite a departure from my previous APA recipe.

Yeah, the feet don’t hurt so much (the look worse than they are), it’s the neck. I’m a bona fide redneck now.
