You may be creating a new strain of yeast.

Get a SS 3 compartment sink with the sprayer especially if you are thinking about a licensed microbrewery. It is required by the Health Dept (although that may only be for restaurants).

Your big O ring may not have sealed well and let out all of your CO2. Try some keg lube.

Apparently that vehicle was photoshopped in. Nonetheless, I would not want to be driving one these things and have a wreck, even with the rigid steel body. Go to youtube and check out some videos of these thing crashing.

AirGas in New Orleans...probably to far, huh??

This is my cheap little stand. Maybe $30 for wood and wheels.

Should have used Luzianne tea for a real Louisiana hard tea.

I believe the meat stops absorbing smoke at around 150 degrees??

Here is a simple extract Red Ale that I recently brewed. I must say...it is pretty tasty and malty. 6# Extra Light DME 1/2# Crystal 120 1/4# Caramunich 1/4# Roasted Barley 1oz Magnum @ 60 min 1oz Willamette @ Last 10 min Nottingham

It has yet to make it to the beaches. I heard last night that it may not even reach AL/FL coast. Oil has made it to the barrier islands of the LA coast. BP has a 4 story dome going on the leak tomorrow.
