I'm in. Thanks!

Ballsy, try this. if you want to try the swamp cooler thing again, try getting either Blocks of ice or fill some empty 2 liter soda bottles with Ice and freeze them (You could substitute the one gallon freezer bags if you don't have bottles laying around). Speaking from personal...

Heavy house Scotch ale from big sky brewery is one of my favorites. Seems fairly balanced for what it is. Happened to pick some up this evening. don't choke anything down, try different ones and get a bit of perspective.

Stove is good for partial boils. For a full stock pot boil id have no clearance to stir let alone add stuff. The hood is just too close.

Looking at what has been mentioned so far the SQ 14 and SP 10 only have a real difference of pressure. If I was so inclined to do 120 min boils, how far would a standard 20lb tank get me? Also, I think the idea to buy the burner/pot separate is a good one. Looking around there are some...

Those of you using 1 pot for all. Regarding cleaning... If I want to sink a turkey, then next day, brew in the same pot, What kind of cleaning needs to take place? What is your process?

Don't have to worry about weird flavors in the brew?

Simple question. Seems there are a couple schools of thought here. Any one actually use their turkey fryer pot as a brew pot and visa versa?

I've been lurking for some time now. Seemed signing up was the right thing to do. Started brewing this year. Love it. Was given a kit and about 8 cases of bottles from a guy who was giving it up. That's all she wrote, I'm hooked. I don't have the space nor the time but somehow I manage. Have...
