The paint is doing fair. It has some light surface rust mainly around the boil kettle but no too bad. I'm diligent about wiping it down after each brew day. One day I may recoat it but it's not there yet. I do wish it was stainless but that would have been a little pricey. There is no...

I have a 1.150 @ 18% Bourbon Barrel Barleywine and a 1.130 @ 12% Imperial stout in bottles. They are at 8 and 5 months respectively. Both are flat, I knew the risk, I took it and I lost.
