Thanks, everyone.  I'm gonna write up the brew day for my blog, but I'll tell you one thing....I remembered why I put the "no drinking while brewing" rule in place!

lol...yeah, since your method seems to involve a lot of lifting and/or moving hot liquor and wort around, that makes sense.  Mine is almost all gravity fed, so I tend to take it really lightly until the boil kettle burner is lit (as in, I don't open a beer until the mash is underway, and I nurse them until the boil).  Even then I don't tend to stray much beyond my typical daily consumption.

That wasn't the problem as much as forgetfulness and general clumsiness.

+1 to this.  I just seem to forget things too often when drinking.

No, I remembered that.  The yeast, OTOH.....

Usually not additions, but rather procedures/techniques that either make my brew day faster or make better beer on my system.
