Who brews in the summer, anyway?

Yep... our well water is 44F year-round. I usually stack wood or hang laundry during the mash and boil.

 

I'd rather be sitting at the lake by the cottage on weekends than brewing... I still try to get some done when I am stuck in the city, but...

 

I brew year around because I am a grown ass man. I do try to brew on weekdays though so I can fully enjoy my weekend.

 

i brew all year long! but i have an electric setup and can brew in the kitchen with the A/C - if i was in texas or the south i could understand not brewing for a bit because of the heat, but i'm in the northwest... i have no excuse

 

I brew less during the summer months and typically only belgian or belgian inspired styles.

 

For me anytime is good.

 

I brew all year. I just try to avoid the coldest days and the hottest days. And sometimes I have to remember to bring the hose in from outside the night before so it's not frozen.

It is a bit harder to find the time to brew in the summer with everything else that's going on.

 

I too brew outside and the summer months are much more fun for such...

 

I brew at an equal pace all year round...about twice per month on average. I use a chest freezer with a temp controller as my fermentation chamber so summer heat is not an issue.

 

All year as I live in scotland and I don't know what this "summer" is you speak of

 

I found out this past weekend that the sweat doesn't really get going until you discover your planned single decoction brew day has somehow magically transformed into a quadruple decoction.

 

I brew very little in the summer because the basement temp approaches 70F. I try to brew more frequently in springtime to put a few beers away for the summer and sometimes even a big beer for fall/winter that will need 6 months of aging.

 

awesome, that is a true Canadian's response right there!
