Fellas, take your shirt off and brew. My garage is a balmy 90 and if I'm lucky enough to get some rain it will only last long enough to create steam on the driveway and increase the overall humdidity....
Damn right! Doing it Florida styleee!
You guys would be surprised the number of small breweries here that are NOT air conditioned.

I can think of 3 right around the corner. Is your heavily fortified compound in SFL?

Brewing up that German IPL I was discussing earlier, on Saturday or Sunday.

Kegged 10 gallons today. Another 50/50 Cream Ale. Next one is getting Anchos thrown in the boil. I have a bunch.
Two weeks with no brewing. I will next weekend and then none the next - traveling. Nice having some inventory so I can blow it off if I feel like it.

On Sunday I brewed up another NM clone, this time with Clarity Ferm, because my GF was really liking the little tastes she took of the first clone. I ended up repitching some 001 because I hadn't got around to getting any 940. Oh well, it'll be beer...and I will drink it.

No brewing but kegging and bottling Denny's Imperial Porter. Can't wait for it to carb. I ended up finding a pretty painless way to bottle. I kegged the whole batch and then sanitized 10 bombers. Added 2 Mangrove Jack's bottle conditioners to each bottle and filled. It was a little extra work but overall a pretty simple and timely result.
I'll be curious to hear how those bottle conditioners work. I've tried several brands with mediocre to poor results. It would be nice if someone finally got it right.

I'll grab a reading Thurs/Fri night. Ideally I want it in a keg by Sunday but I am using all restraint and patience, what little I have.
Where did this end up finishing?
