I don't have one right now, but I think I know where I can get one. If so, I will show you.

Thanks, I look forward to learning and growing in hobby and becoming a part of what is obviously a loose community/network of people who share the interest. For now, it is something that for the first time in years is competing with work for my time and attention. I think that is a very good thing.

Likely to become the obsession for me - I have only two speeds with most things, on and off with insufficient moderation. So far I have brewed wheat, extra stout, hefe, pumpkin ale. I have an oatmeal stout and an American brown in fermentation. I will likely continue to experiment around and...

Does it need to be an actual pool ball or could it be a plastic replica that looks like the real thing?
