Hello and welcome from Piedmont,OK!

That one does look good. I might be moving it to the top of the list. The stand is a little pricey, but I bet I could probably build a wooden stand for it.

Good points. I didn't consider the hollow legs, but I'm sure that is what they are. Since I saw that one, I've been taking a look at this guy: http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=45018&catid=513 Smaller, more expensive (with the stand), but shaped more to the purpose.

I did a HBT search on polyethylene and found some good information, so I'm giving this tank some consideration, but wanted to get some opinions: http://www.tractorsupply.com/leg-style-storage-tank-35-gal--2137324 Specifically I'm wondering about shape, potential cooling difficulties...

definitely a dopplebock...definitely...okay maybe a barley wine.

Hello from Piedmont.

Ok, silly question, but how do you drain a sink that is in the basement? I assume a pump like a sump pump, but are there other ways?

Can any of you folks who really up on their brewing chemistry comment on the implications to our beloved hobby that this article may have? http://www.physorg.com/news195146436.html Note: I probably should have posted this in the science forum...sorry...I'll do better next time.
