    Hopbag Hanger

    Dude, your pot is way to clean. The inside should be black to have an oxidized layer. What are you cleaning with? Great hop bag setup. I think I will convert mine to hang the same

    nanoRIMS Build

    Do not use that rims tube!! I made a wood steamer out of PVC that was about 8 feet long and it bent like a banana with just a little steam..

    Goodwill score!

    These are pyrex so the should be fine to boil with but im not sure if i can use them on a electric stove.. I have heard some say they do it all the time and others that say they will break. At least it has a handle so i can quickly pull it off the head to avoid boil overs.
