Sandy's Porter

Being a weather weenie has its perks. I was able to mash in tonight around landfall, knowing I was going to get a lull in the weather as the eye moved over South Jersey, Northern Delaware and as I type this, I am 30 minutes into the boil and although it's raining steadily outside, it's eerily quiet with minimal wind.
