Yes. Here's mine.

The Doghouse in Houghton or Bleachers in Hancock have the best pickled eggs. At least they did 15 years ago.

What? :drunk:

If you remove the door liner you can fit in two 5# CO2 tanks. I have one tap on CO2 and the other tap on Nitrogen beer gas. That's about all the benefit you'll get from removing the door liner.

Did you find in it the Chicago area? If so, where?

Finally tried one of these tonight. I'm not sure what I think about it yet. While drinking I couldn't taste any apple whatsoever, but the longer I sit the more i can taste it in the aftertaste. Not bad. One thing I really don't care for is the high level of carbonation. Now to find a...

Good point. We were looking into this yesterday. I'm 95% sure it's 100% copper. Everywhere we cut or ripped the screen the ends looked like pure copper under the microscope. However, there were a few screens that had some of the galvanized steel corner supports rub up against them during...

Funny you mention the Faraday cage. The screen came from am EMI shielded room we just tore down at work. I should have kept the door and walls and put up my own little tin-foil hat making factory in my basement. I was thinking bazooka screen type strainers, but after looking at this a...

My last batch of stout did that same cottage cheese looking stuff using a White Labs Irish Ale yeast. All of my previous batches using the same yeast did not. No other ingredients changed and I don't use polyclar...only a whirlfloc tablet. Beer came out tasting the same as ever, but it was...

I just came upon some copper screen and am trying to think of something to make from it that might actually be useful. It's some heavy stuff...a 3'x6' piece weighs about 8 pounds. I'd estimate the grid spacing to be pretty similar to a screen door...not too small, but not massively porous...

I bought a sixer when it was on sale at Binny's for $6 last week. I didn't really care for it, but it's been a LONG time since I've had an amber to compare it to so maybe it's just my taste has changed. I thought the whole problem with the Bell's/Distributor thing was that the distributor...

I hate you both. I do. I hate you. Jealousy. I hate you. I want one.

As a matter of fact, I do know most of those things now. Personally, I love the new smell of the living room, but SWMBO isn't so fond of it.

That was my ultimate solution. I just neglected to mention it. I probably only lost a couple pints, but it looks like someone went on a hell of a bender in my living room.

The only thing I can really think off the top of my head is that since you have a 10 gal. MLT you should be able to combine your two sparges of 2.4 gal. each into a single sparge of 4.8 gal. without a problem. Other than that things look pretty good.
