OK, this second batch brew day went much smoother, however it still had a few hiccups. I think it is a good thing that I am trying out these super small batches of beer, cause nobody likes to waste beer, right? This time I had a side pot of water with the barley going at just under a boil. When the wort boiled down too far I would use this water from this side pot to add. I don’t have a wort chiller, so I have to go ghetto and cool down my wort by keeping it in a sink with cold water before I pitch the yeast. I don’t know what I was thinking, but rather than cooling down the kettle I poured the wort into the growler, then as soon as I set it in the sink the glass cracked. Luckily it was only a hairline crack, so I didn’t lose the wort, I happened to have another growler, so it’s all good. Guarenteed the third mini batc will be better.
