chillin out...

GO PATS!!! Just to clear the air: I'm a Chicago Bears fan. <pause for laughter> I really do not like any of the teams in the playoffs except for New England. Not only that, but I'm tired of hearing about the '72 Dolphins. ALRIGHT. WE GET IT. YOU GUYS WERE GOOD.

Uhm...hello...beer blog...???

Yes.

The wort is done boiling and has been added to 3 gallons of cold water. My trusty thermometer says 120 degrees. A little too hot for yeast. The current temperature outside is about 40 degrees so guess where my wort is…

I need it to cool down to a nice luke warm 75 degrees. I’m going to jumpstart my yeast before I add it to the mix. I’m using a single packet of Nottingham ale yeast.

Ok, time to clean up this mess. I took a few pics of the hops and the boiling wort. I’ll be posting them to my Flickr account soon.

I’ll finish up posting on this tomorrow. It’s pretty late and I need a fix of ROCKBAND!
