Does anyone worry about Sunlight Brewing Outside

I just moved outside with my brewing. Upon getting to a boil it occurred to me that the sunlight on the open kettle is probably not a good idea. Here was my Rube Goldberg apparatus to shade it after the son killed my shady brewing spot. What does everyone else do?

 

Sunlight skunks beer quickly. It is also bad for the hops. I was more worried about the hops.

 

Thanks. I know most brew outside and I have never heard anyone worried about it. Before I could look into I figured I would err on the safe side as the sun was brutal today.

 

I think you are right. The biggest danger to my wort was the potential collapse.

 

It is much farther away than it looks. I mashed in between the burner and the post.

 

I was worried about heat and falling so........
I was usually standing right next to it checking for too much heat and of course.......drinking beer.

 

I was drinking a 1 yr old Long Trail Coffee Stout from their Brewmaster series. The fireworks were going off in my brain.......pretty damn tasty.

Edited to say also.....Of course what a nice gimmick for a beer. Fireworks in your beer as they drop m-80's into the wort.

 

LOL you guys are observant. Here was the tries to shade in order. Funny how the sun never came to my mind while brewing in the winter. However at 90 degrees when the sun starts hitting you it is damn obvious.

Started the boil with shade from neighbors tree then that damn sun moved
Towel hanging from the overhang......couldn't get it low enough.
stainless steel ladder.......was too short
wooden ladder......worked, but at this point the boil was 15 minutes from over.

Everyone needs a hobby and mine was trying to shade a kettle while the sun is moving.
