Survived a hail storm a few days earlier and didn't want to risk another.Beer #47My plants are young, so I didn't get much, only 6 ounces, but should be just enough for this one batch. Lame, I know.Cooking the cereal mash... Meanwhile, the 6-row malt is going through it's first rest.Cereal mash then added to the mash tun for the second rest.
