Yesterday and today I spent getting my brewery prepped for my first batch of the season tomorrow. One advantage of a large batch size is the ability to fill several kegs after a brew session, but one down side is that I cannot brew indoors in the winter because it generates too much steam. So the last time I brewed was in November of 2007.

Today I cranked up the kettle, hauled out the pump, opened up the mash tun and gave it all a good going-over. The (58L) kettle was upside-down on the back step all winter, and beside it was the 45L mash tun covered in blue camping foam.
