    Water sample question

    I am sending a sample off to Ward labs. I currently use a carbon filter so I am wondering if I should send the sample of the filtered water or non-filtered water? I assume that I should send them a sample of whatever is going into my kettle?

    Easy & Cheap Stainless Vent Hood

    Thanks for the info! I'm going to try and insulate my pipes somehow. As a sidenote, I had been brewing at night when it was about 50 degrees out, but brewed this weekend during the day with temps around 70 and had no condensation.
