If it was just a copper wire - as in electrical wire - you should be fine. Make sure you repaired the wire if it was damaged, then wrap it up and move it out of the way so you can keep drilling.

I have seen a few members here use glass etching kits. A quick look on the Googles turned up Armour Etch

Put me down.

I am always down for free beer stuff.

Thanks for the reference. I haven't seen that movie in years. Great logo. I love that it has the look of a rubber stamp. Great work.

There are a couple of stickies in this sub-forum to free label websites (Labelizer and www.says-it.com/seal/)

I would love a coupon!

Just a label I am playing around with. I didn't design any of it. I snagged the seal from http://www.says-it.com/seal. I found the laughing silhouette online a while ago and held onto it. Brumbly is my girlfriends nick-name for me. Irish red is the first beer I plan to brew when I get...

There are a couple threads on here that explain how to replace the transformer in these temp controllers. It may or may not be worth it to you. I cannot seem to find any of these threads. I know one guy had purchased a few extra transformers and was selling them. Not sure if any are left.

Okay. Bad choice of words. Fewer than I expected. Maybe this is just because I make bonehead comments about my own beer all the time.

Only a couple people have posted this, but honestly my first thought when sampling my my first Homebrew (Mr. Beer Kit) was along the lines of "Hmm... it does taste like beer." Was my first batch, so I allow myself to be impressed by the fact that I didn't screw it up entirely. I don't...

Krausen on the Apfelwein about 18 hours after pitching the yeast. This died down about 4 hours later.

Pitched Lavlin EC-1118 on March 4, 2012 at approximately 6:00 p.m. This is shortly after. The foam is not krausen. Just foam from shaking the juice and dextrose to mix.
