  • I startedbrewing about 4 years ago when my wife gave me my first kit, a brown ale, for christmas. Bless her soul! I've been hooked ever since. Brewed numerous kits doing a full wort boil. Upgraded to a 8 Gal. stainless steel kettel with a spigot. About a year ago I went all grain. I bought a picnic cooler, installed a cpvc manifold. Currently doing single infusion mashes with a continuous sparge. Designed and built a wort chiller, A little something I call "the rocket". It stands about 3 feet tall and looks something like a Titan rocket. Last month I got tired of cleaning bottles and decided to start kegging. Bought a decent looking little fridge and plan on installing a tap.

    Well, all my windows are done except for 2 customs that haven't been ordered yet. I think I
    earned 2 brews next weekend!As long as you're doing windows, I have a couple that need to be
    replaced. :D

    Go to this link. 3rd picture shows the difference between a left and right hand coil. It's so
    you can put 2 taps in the same cooler. One on the left and one on the right.Happy brewing.:;)

    Every single one of you would buy a new car if money wasn't a concern. Parsimony I can
    appreciate, envy I can't.Not necessarily. I'm 45 and I've only owned 3 vehicles in my life and
    they've all been u...

    Also, nothing says you have to pay benefits. You can hire part time people to pack boxes.Yup!
    That's the way to increase customer service. Low pay - no benefits.
