What to do when it's 99 degrees out? Brew at night of course
Considering it's a heat index of 105 degrees right now, brewing outside isn't such a 'hot' idea.
But I need to get some beers done.
So I took a nap in the afternoon (getting ready to do it again), got up around 10pm, and got at it.
Overall, I actually liked it better than brewing in the afternoon or the morning. Less bugs for one, they seem to seek me out during the day. And the Honey Bees love coming by when I am brewing.
Finished up around 4am, including cleaning.
Now thats dedication........my nite brewing starts at 1800 and ends at midnite..........thanks for the pics!
Just call me Andy!
Lupulin Threshold Shift
lupulin threshold shift \lu·pu·lin thresh·old shift\ n
1. When a once extraordinarily hoppy beer now seems pedestrian.
2. The phenomenon a person has when craving more bitterness in beer.
3. The long-term exposure to extremely hoppy beers; if excessive or prolonged, a habitual dependence on hops will occur.
4. When a "Double IPA" just is not enough

I think desperation is a better term for it. I am working on the Lemon Grass Rye right now. Last night was the Honey Wheat.
Just started my boil, so I have a couple of hours left. I started a bit later tonight.
Compared to the 99 degrees it was today, brewing at 73 degrees this morning is a joy.
Guess I will have to hold off for bit, or buy more carboys. All of mine are full.
On a good note, the Honey Wheat (thanks Chuck) has already given birth to it's first blowoff. It's churning like crazy.
