60% of the time I start after work... I work retail so I get everything milled by 8pm, and mashing by 8:30... done by 1am...
on off days.. I start when I get up... bout 9...
many off days I brew two batches... one starts at 9, the other at about 4pm... done by 9-10pm...
#isitMarch and have I already brewed my legal limit:)

I brew in the garage, so the night before I pull my car out, drag out the Top Tier, fill the HLT and MT, and add water salts to both. At 8-ish in the morning, I fire up my 240-V RIMS to heat my strike water in the tun. Since that is hands-off, I get coffee and breakfast. Then I mill my grains and dough in around 9.

Usually start 8-9 a.m. but I do a bit of preparation the previous day and usually mash overnight. First job of the day is vorlauf while brewing coffee.

I usually mash the night before, done by 9 pm, and the next morning start the stove ca. 530 am. Make my coffee, measure everything out, and I'm chilling the wort in a couple of hours. Clean up as I go along. (Half-batches so it all happens indoors)

I nearly always start at about 8 p.m.--once the kids are in bed--and finish up around 2 a.m. This makes me very tired the next day (up at 6 or so), but it's a happy kind of tiredness as I listen to the airlock music and dream of the coming beer.
Last summer, I was home alone for almost a week, and I managed to brew twice during the day--what a great experience to start after lunch and be finished by early evening.

Started heating the strike water around 10:00 a.m. today and pitched the yeast at 4:20 p.m. I enjoy it and don't like to rush it.

I usually set up the equipment the night before and grind the grains. I usually roll out of bed at 6 AM, turn the coffee on and fire up the burner. If I don't get an early start and know I won't get started until after 9 AM I usually won't brew. I like to be finish by noon so I have the rest of the free.

Got started around 8:30am this morning. It's usually between 8:30 and 10:30am that I get started. Sometimes it's later, around midday. I like to be done by 2 or 3pm at the latest.

Usually start by 8am and done by 2pm at the latest. Now that I have my grainfather setup, I won't mind starting any time of the day, being inside out of the cold or away from the bugs.

I start at 2am-3am because in the summer months in the Phoenix area it can easily be over 100 by 9am.
I can be done with my clean-up by 10am and tolerate the rest of the day in the pool or air-conditioned house. It does help that I am retired. Many brewers out here curtail their brewing altogether because it just not any fun brewing when it's 110.
Oh and all that crap about it's a "dry-heat". It's all bull! HOT is HOT!
