More correctly, my brew evening as I think I started around 6:30. I milled 11 pounds of malt, heated water, mashed and brewed a 5 gallon batch, bottled another batch, transfered another batch to secondary, and got everything cleaned and ready to brew again in the morning.
Missed my target og on the batch I brewed...was shooting for 1.040, my preboil was 1.050 with a post boil of 1.060. Was just shy of 5 gallons, so I made a trip to the corner store and got a gallon of spring water and added that. OG is now 1.044, close enough!
Brewing another 5 gallon batch in the morning. That will make 15 gallons brewed this week, 20 gallons total in the works. If I had the time tomorrow night, I still have one more batch I'd like to brew before the wife gets home (Thursday) and I'd like to get it done this weekend.
