You might want to search Allied Electronics, Grainger or Digikey for "circuit board indicators" that match your description. I cannot see where you would need a 110 volt LED in your assembly, but I am not an engineer. You might want to elaborate more on your planned usage of the LED.

I drank beer with a straw once while waiting for a dentist office to open on Monday after a mosh pit incident... I have also never, ever been more excited about someone else's beer. If you are bottling and want to ship a few to Florida I promise to share it with a beer judge.

I live in Florida, my water comes out of the tap at 70+... It makes sense if you think about it though. Yeast is to be rehydrated at 90, then you pitch in to wort a little cooler and then the temp slowly drops in the ferm chamber. Gradual temp adjustment equals no stress for the yeast.

If you like your beer then his opinion does not matter. If you like what you are doing then you are doing it well!

I strongly remember Terrapin, one was named Hoppin Rye or some such and a few others are lost in the fog. I don't claim to be a rye beer expert, so maybe I should have clarified that in my post. The rye beers that I have tried have a flavor note that reminds me of RAW rye flour, which is not...

Used a homebrew ESB and Guiness Special Export and it tastes like the water at the bottom of a spent cherry coke...
