At Last A Brew Day That Went Well

[argon]

I reckon the number 1 thing you can do to make a brew day go smoothly is not to have any beers. I know this is super counter intuitive and very hard to achieve... But I reckon the biggest stuff ups were either caused or magnified by a couple of beers before everything is done.

Never really thought it made much of a difference till it happened to me... Clouded judgement in a tight spot. Hard to think on your feet with a few beers in ya.

This is abslute blasphemy and I won't stand for it. Every brewer's aim should be to achieve three brews consecutively in a day with first beers no later than dough-in number 1.


Where did I leave my mash paddle?





What's a mash paddle?

Not sure if it exists already, but if it doesn't, a thread titled "when brew days go bad" would be a great one to start...

Now that is something I know about, even without having a beer.
I reckon if I had a couple of beers I could write a book on the subject.

There is a thread on brew day disasters or something somewhere. Pretty funny read.
