So Darren and I have started the brewing process for the Sierra Foothills Pale Ale. On Thursday night, we stuck two gallons of Safeway brand spring water in the fridge to be used as cooling water once the boil is finished.
We have already sanitized all the equipment with Iodophor, and we are currently letting 3.5 Gal of water with the Specialty Grains sit in 155 F water. In about 20 minutes we'll resume the heating process. Currently, the glass carboy is sitting full outside with iodophor/water.
Our brew kittens have been locked in the laundry room for a large part of the process, since they have a bad habit of getting tangled in our feet when we're in the kitchen...I'd hate to accidently dump 5 gallons of nearly boiling water on the brew kittens. But for now, they are entertaining themselves while things simmer.
