It’s hard to picture brewing quality beer out of what looks like a nasty garage with crap scattered about, but it is possible with attention to details.. Notice the excessive use of towels for example! I keep the fermenters in the blue bin to keep them off the garage floor. When I’m done I’ll chill the wort down to 75-80 degrees and then pour it into the fermenters. While traversing through the air they are getting hit with some colder air and then aerating as they funnel into the bucket/bottle. This gives the yeast oxygen to get cracking with. It’s a very delicate dance while for a good hour or so are spent simply making sure the house doesn’t burn down while I watch videos or listen to music from my PSP. That thing is irreplaceable when it comes to portable comfort!
