Started the water - took measuring cup and filled from fridge, needed 6 quarts to boil. Put malt in sink in warm water to try and loosen it up. while waiting for the boil i sanitized 1 oz of easy clean with the 6 gallon carboy and started 2nd pot for boiled sanitzed water

Finally water is boiling, to boil, took about 30 minutes to get to boil using back of pizza pan, still waiting for the lid from Ryan.

i think i started yeast too early, i should have waited until the cooling the wort to start it, ah well. cooling the wort takes some time but still works ok in the right ride of the sink. just fill it full of ice and let it chill. if i would have started it in the right side i probably would have been ok.
9:40 pm
themometer looks like the wort's at about 78F, so going to transfer. after i transferred then i added the yeast. gave the whole thing a few good shakes. then applied the airlock and moved into the basement
