No Way! Brew Day is on Delay.
February 18, 2012 in Beer, Brewing, FAIL, gadgets and gear
Today was supposed to be the brew day at the Fixx Brewery for the 2012 Sticky Porcupine, but we ran into problems. Xaq Fixx, the resident brewmaster has a day job and his company recently launched a new website, this has meant 10 days in a row pulling 16 hour days and it has finally caught up with him. He went to bed around 4AM last night and slept until noon. Not enough time to sanitize the brewery and the equipment, brew, chill, and start fermienting a batch beofe getting back to work for another long night. Hopefully Sunday will be brew day.
In the few hours Xaq has to kill before working he decided to clean the brewery, workshop, and give the kitchen a surgical scrub. When starting on the core of the brewery, pictured above, he discovered that after breaking his thermometer cleaning up on the last brew day he forgot to replace it on the last trip to the LHBS and must order another one. Hopefully a well sanitized digital probe thermometer will work when checking the specific gravity, as the candy thermometer, which works well in the kettle will not fit in the test jar.
Stay Tuned!!
