1. "Sanitation has nothing to do with it." Wow. I guess you are sure that nothing can leach out of the foam into the water. I'm not so sure. 2. "If you guys read the water report, I doubt you would be drinking it." I do not drink water out of a faucet. Any water I drink has either been...

Is the insulation harmful? I don't know, but it is made up of some pretty nasty stuff and breathing the fumes is not advisable when it is in liquid form. The more important point is that is if the brew can get to the insulation it can leech into the walls of the cooler and support the...

Absolutely fantastic news! Congratulations Mr. Brewer. :mug:

Absolutely Beautiful... are you going to put furniture wax on the epoxy finish? Show us your bar glasses/mugs.

You'll need to work fast so you will have a "Cypress Tiger Tavern" flag to fly at half-mast when the Ponies kick the "Who Dat's" butt. :mug:

That's an idea... cypress tiger stripes... might just work.
