I already weighed out the grains so all I have to do is start heating the water and dump them in the hopper. As I stated in another thread I always go out before coffee and start my mash. Then come for breakfast and coffee. I always hated weighing grains out when I haven't had my coffee. Mostly because it is a hassle carrying them to my brewery then bringing the containers back in. Now that I am retired as soon as I decide on what I want to brew I go ahead and put my grain bill together. It makes brew day oh so much nicer.

That's the bad thing about work: it gets in the way of brewing.

[Inkleg]

Uhm? You're retired, isn't every day a good day.

I do like MO and EKG!

[Gymrat]

Why yes it is. I meant weather wise

[Gymrat]

That day is here and I am sitting in my brewery with about 10 minutes left in the boil
