Batch #60

Today makes 445 gallons and 60 batches. Brewed 11 gallons of Oktoberfest, partially for a couple comps coming up in a few months and the other part being Fall parties!!

Today I learned that when the propane cylinder is getting low you can shake it and the pressure will pick up...enough to help get the boil going while you go to the neighbor's and beg to borrow theirs, or go to the store and get more. The latter wasn't a viable option since we have about 6" of snow and sleet here. Wish I could've been just brewing, but I was shoveling when I wasn't standing by my system.

I'm done with Winter, bring on Spring. By then my Maibock will be ready!!!

Cheers!
