First of all my Morebeer order was delayed...stupid Fedex...hopefully the cooler temps keep the yeast ok since it will be sitting in a warehouse from Friday to Tomorrow... SO I had a make a run to the LHBS to pick up the missing supplies..Luckily they had what I needed, but I dislike buying yeast from them because everytime I have used their yeast i have fermentation issues...so not sure they take care of their yeast...
SO got everything going, the brew day was going great until I went to sparge and my pump crapped out on me....messed it with for a few minutes but had to give up and do the old manual sparge...lol got that all taken care of and was frantically trying to get my pump back working because I need to chill and clean my system(Luckily I do have a backup pump, but it was one without a full cord). Decided to just get the second pump set up since I was limited on time, found an old extension cord and wired up the new pump and redid all the connections...Once I got that fixed the rest of the brew day went well. I think I may have fixed my old pump as well, apparently it did not like the 4.5 month rest and needed a real good cleaning.
SO my Deschutes Fresh Squeezed clone is waiting to get to fermenting
Excited to be able to brew again!
