Had my first glass of this, and its damn good! Its been kegged for for 5 weeks, great carb and flavor!

Very nice! I really like the coil through the lid, I'm doing a HERMS as well and now I can't decide on the lid mount or side mount.

I'm real in!

Part number 7529K533 http://www.mcmaster.com/#7529K533

I got mine from Amazon, I wanted to buy from Bobby, but he was out of 1/2" spuds and Amazon had both. The 1" spud fits a Camco ripple.

It may depend on where u get the spud, mine fit snug using the 1 11/16".

I used the cheap Harbor Freight punch kit with good results. The hole was a tad smaller than the diameter of my welding spud, so I just took a step bit and drilled around the edge of the hole until it fit. The manual says its 1 1/4" but it makes a bigger hole than that. I was able to make two...

I have some Stay-Brite, but noticed the tensile strength of the SSF-6. I would think heating two stainless washers would take less time than a coupling, but they claim to be using propane and it seemed pretty quick. That stuff isnt cheap either, $69 for two 18" rods.

Found this vid on youtube today, I did a quick search and haven't seen a post on the Muggy Weld SSF-6. Has anyone tried this on a coupling or spud?

Yep, those wings are nasty, I'll go to drink beer and watch a game, not eat. The commercial was funny, get a sense of humor.

Keith, my spices were about the same ratio, except for the cloves. I would look at Walmart or Target for the spices, bet they're cheaper that any LHBS. Or just add clove to McCormicks pumpkin pie spice, which is cinn, allspice, ginger, & nutmeg.

Nice! "Richard, this is your dad.......Talk to ya later bub, bye". Pumpkin beer is my faaaavorite! http://www.richardchristy.com/beer.html

Yeah, like Pumkin Creme Brûlée :-)

Just got done brewing this, house smells great! Everything went well, hit my targets, but I think some if the brown sugar got burned on my element. I used Panela, South American Brown Sugar, and its very hard like a brick, so Im thinking a couple chunks hit it. Went with Wlp028 for my yeast...

Just ordered my grains for this, went with WLP028 for my yeast, can't wait!
