Brew day today right, woohoo. Ground all 17 lbs of my grain last night by hand, GAY. Now this morning my arm hurts. Woke up hour and a half late. Went to fire up the system, brother took my lp tank for his deer shanty stove. Drive up to the hunting property (20 minutes away), snag the tank, get home try to wire up the new pump, no luk, so straight wire it be, all outside faucets are blown out so had to use the laundry room sink, hook up the hose and run it outside and start filling HLT. Go to basement and find water leaking down. Run upstairs only to find a half inch of water on the floor from a leak in the hose. Fix that finally and get back to brewing. Everything went pretty smooth except I forgot the irish moss in the boil and over shot my OG and undershot my vol, but oh well. Now sipping on some st arnold Christmas brew. Live and learn i guess right. I just need to get more brew under the new systems belt.
