I decided to brew this morning because it's supposed to rain tomorrow

I started about 7 am. I had just finished doughing in and wrapping the kettle when it started to sprinkle. I figured it was just the marine layer, but it drizzled most of the day. I moved the patio umbrella over to cover the kettle and soldiered on. 5 gallons of Irish Red Ale is now safe in the fermenter.

Rain, you're lucky. Our forecast for today is a high of 9°F. Tomorrow it will be warm, high of 13°F. These are really warm temperatures compared to the last week.

I tried brewing in my garage for the first time because of suspected rain. I had no idea what I was missing all of these years. The burner keeps the place nice and warm, steady flow on the propane flame, and I could brew through a hurricane. If you have a garage I suggest trying it out. I like the umbrella though...that's a nice touch.

I'm certainly not going to complain about rain. We need all we can get. It wasn't very heavy, a drizzle at most, and it wasn't particularly cold, in the high 60's. It just caught me by surprise.
