My brew days usually start with a lot of high expectations and great excitement and that usual thought process that most of us have on brew day
that this brew is going to be the best one yet. But by the end of the six to seven hour brew day the legs are a bit wery and the energy and the
motivation for the clean up is running on low, not to mention trying to keep the kids and the Mrs on side while i devote all my attention to the brew
for the day. I have been putting some thought into how can i make this experience a bit more enjoyable and less taxing on me and the family, so
the last brew i put down i heated my strike water and mashed on Friday night and enjoyed a few beers with a couple of mates when the mash was
over I pulled the grain bag out dumped the grain and cleaned the bag and threw a blanket over the kettle ready to fire it up for the boil in the
morning first thing. Started the boil and all finished and cleaned up by about 10.30 that morning, now thats more like it . Still had the rest of the
day free to do other stuff, it worked out great. Just thought i would pass on this experience for others that are in a similar situation it was a much easier brew session.
