      No mashing, no sparging, no boiling, no chilling. Still I managed to spend 5+ hours doing brewing stuff on a rainy windy day.

        It's become one of the pleasures of brewing for me. There's always something to do. Never, not once, have I gone out to the brewery and sat around wishing for something to do. When I started back in after a 15 year break I committed myself to cleaning, "Boy, if you can't get into cleaning, find another hobby." It's made it much more enjoyable, weirdly. That and an ace pair of gumboots.

        2014 Hallertauer Mittelfrueh so I guess its just the lesser storability of that type. Tested Altbier with old hops compared to new. Big difference. The old hops taste stale, astringent and smell a little off.

        Very big difference storing cool and storing sub-zero. I also have old hops, but they smell as fresh as the day I put them in the freezer

        Back in my day, a probe was a probe, you know? The problem with probes these days is that they need special attention, not a walk through the snow to get to school without gloves or shoes or underpants. In fact......

        With a whimper. I realise after I shouldn't have used the word probe. The sensor! All of a sudden I cant calibrate it. Trying in the 7 solution its reading 8.5 followed by WRNG!
        Its farked isn't it? I think I got more than 12 months out of it and now I know how to mash right.
