    When did you make the switch to AG?

    I switched to AG for the challenge and also I enjoy the chemistry ( I am a pharmacist). I can PM a beer that is good as anyone's AG. For most of those who AG, constant tweaking of your equipment increases the $$. Switch if you enjoy the hobby, the beer, ans the challenge.:mug:

    where to buy keggles?

    I bought a keg from a local beer distributor. Cut out top with a grinder. Cut 2 7/8 holes with a step bit. Took a Little sweat but for the price of the weld-less fittings, I have a nice keggle.

    Should a Rubbermade MLT be preheated

    I recently converted from a 5 gallon Rubbermade to a 10 gallon used as a MLT. I always preheated my 5 gallon with 180-200 degree water and always hit my target temp. My 1st 10 gallon AG with my new 10 gallon MLT immediately warped when I preheated with 180 degree water. Cooler is still intact...
