Hahaha I get that a lot from visitors. It's green alright but grass it is not. I got some green shag rugs to go with my brown lounge setup.
Too hot is when you run the risk of sweating to much into your beer it almost cancels out the boil off amount.
Current temp in the office.(with a bit of luck should't reach higher than 32C.. uhm about 90F I think those not into Centigrade)
It's days like this I miss living in the Waikato, in saying that I do not miss the weather enough to go back any time soon.
As for the book is pretty darn good. It's a simple. I initially purchased it on a whim as I was browsing Dymocks for a book on whiskey makers. SWMBO was shopping for shoes so I had some time to kill and I wasn't actually looking for anything specific as I'm still making my way through "The art of fermentation" by Sandor Katz (
Book Depository Link).
Anyways I picked this up as I saw on the spine that it was by the BYO guys. After opening is up I saw all these clone recipes that I as keen to try and that made me take it too the counter. After getting time to read it I was very surprised that I didn't want to put it down and the clone recipes in the back came as a pleasant surprise as I finished the book.
It being Sunday, aka Chores ... (Pretend to adult whilst listening to podcasts) day I am catching up on Basic Brewing.
Turns out that Brad and Betsy were on the Basic Brewing podcast - Ep 26 Jan 2k17.(
