WillBrewing up a batch of Kölsch-inspired ale, right now!
Usually, I let the wort cool down on its own (which takes forever). For this batch, I am doing an ice bath to speed it up a little. It felt very strange carrying the wort outdoors. (Though, I will eventually be doing most of my brewing outdoors.)
There's one new variable I discovered -- bugs.
A fresh batch of Kölsch-inspired ale that was just racked from an open fermentor. 😀
