I hate this time of the year though because planned brewdays can go a wry very quickly with the winter weather ( i.e. last Monday 10F and 20-25mph winds). Winter can SUCK IT!! By this time next year I hope to have some sort of electric setup.
Now get brewin'!!
For a moment, I couldn't figure out what the weather had to do with it, then I remembered I'm doing 3 gallon all grain batches on my stove because going outdoors would get me fined by my stupid HOA. I can see, now, why it sucks to brew in the winter. I wouldn't want to be outside in -4 (what we had out in Denver a few weeks ago) just to make beer.
I ended up splitting my 6 gallon batch into 2 3 gallons batches. I am not a fan of brewing inside because I have a stupid electric stove.
I think you need to brew a batch for your HOA President.
