Catching up documentation of my brewing activity

With the new contract working hours and not wanting to spend the majority of a whole weekend day brewing, I've arranged my work hours so I'm done with the week by 3 pm on Friday. 30 minute drive home and I'm brewing by 3:30. Seven or so hours later the wort is in the fermenter and chills overnight in the temperature controlled fermentation 'incubator' when it is pitched. Then, I've got the whole weekend, less Friday night, to frolic, etc.
