A 6 Hour Brew Day And It Was Awesome

Last updated on January 11, 2021 By Brewginner Leave a Comment

I just had my first 6 hour brew day, and it was pretty amazing. Now normally, I’m all about saving time, and trying to expedite things during my brew days. Heck, I’ve even pushed things with my pilot beers to get things done in under 2 hours. I normally get my water together, and grind […]

Last updated on November 19, 2020 By Brewginner Leave a Comment

is a wort chiller necessary

Let’s get something straight. I’m cheap! Who needs an immersion wort chiller when you can easily place your kettle in an ice bath, and have cooled wort within an hour. Then I had an epiphany! How much was my time worth? If it was taking me an hour to get my wort cooled to under […]
