Lot To Learn

Thought i'd try an easy all extract brew today,things could not have gone more wrong.

Cruisin along steeping grain,cool.waiting for lme to drain into set measure,cool.Got the first 1.5kg no worries,put in kettle.Got distracted making up my 1056,forgot about second 1.5 draining from honeygate,contiuned to flow at great rate,10kgs later oooopppppps,very messy.

Thought well cleaned that shit,im good to go .............nope.................no chilled from kettle into open cube,another open tap,ooooppppps messy again

I hear so many sob stories about open taps I double check mine even when I'm half way thru draining

But I gotta ask, what were you doing making up a 1056 starte on brewday ? You need to get that happening a couple of days before.

Also, fill in your location so other brewers can offer to come round and lick your floor clean...we're a desperate bunch on here :chug:

1056 was made before brew day,Is that ok?

Was just commenting on having a not normal brew day

Just thought others would find it amusing,the missus critique enough

 

[mika]

Making starte before is good ! Making it on brewday would kind negate the point.

No brew day's normal, that's why they're soo much fun <_<

I have a normal trap on my knew 2ndry. I am paranoid of doing it. It is entertaining though to read others funny tales.

There's another classic thread just like this... look for "balls up", as I couldn't be arsed adding a link to it (let alone know how to).

 

[milpod]

well moved from extract to ag,my first 4 have gone "real well" i think

Cheers guys for what i have learnt here.

If it wasn't for quality sites like this.we'd be all fumbling in the dark.
