Bumpy-ass brew day. It's fucking cold outside, around 20. Should have preheated the mash tun longer/hotter because I missed my desired mash temp of 152. Ended up using the electric tea kettle to bring it closer, but ended up at 150. I used rice hulls after things got cloggy n' shit with the new braid. Between the wheat, hulls and extended mash, the spent grain was gelatinous and made for an easy clean up.
Just as the boil was starting UPS showed up with the new 1/2 inch, 50 foot stainless steel immersion chiller I ordered myself for Christmas. Thanks Santa, you have pretty badass taste in brewing gear. I cleaned it up during the first 20 minutes of the boil, and tossed it in. The Summit hops I used are from Yakima Valley Hops. They smell pretty amazing and seem to been in good hands prior to me boiling them to death.
