I just like it when I get to NEED a new piece of equipment :)

It sounds to me like you NEED a bigger mash tun. Go get a 40 quart cooler, some pipe and build one. Here's a good thread about how to do it.

Nice. Wish you'd have posted before Christmas...Oh well, there's always next year.

I regularly mark every corner of my property. If you don't piss on it, how will they know it's yours?

Oh, she shared bro. :rockin:

b-boy: Yes it's my basement; but I drink, so... Some good answers. Thanks for the laughs. My wife figured out what it is. Anybody else want to guess or should I reveal the answer?
