My real Hall of Fame screw up from Monday night was when I was chilling the wort. I turned on the chiller and went off to do something else. It usually takes ~18 minutes to chill to ale pitching temps. I was peeking at my thermocouple readout as I was doing things and noticed it slowed down quite a bit when it got into the low 80s. A few minutes later I checked back and it was only at 77 after 23 minutes. At this point I'm wondering what the heck is going on, then I realized I never turned off the element in the kettle.

that's pretty impressive that you managed to chill to 77 with the element on

My rule is no beer before my last hop addition. Bur somethimes I break my own rule, if I have company.

I've found that running 140df water through the IC isn't very effective either. At least 2X........ wrong faucet........

Almost invariably, I will screw up multiple things when my BAC is zero.

That's because your body isn't used to it.
