Following this closely...Interesting problem, seems like noone else has had it though I don't think many people have tried this clone yet.

Food grade is okay definitely but the garden hose is a definite no go, especially if other people are drinking it as well. Hoses for this are pretty cheap and easy to find.

Pictures? Merry X-mas!

Agreed, the bread bowl looks great as well.

I know Mr. Beer gets a lot of (deservedly) negative press but it's great for the hobby allowing a low barrier of entrance for newcomers to learn with.

I think this varies quite a bit but I think most probably still drink others besides their own. It's fun to critique them as you knowledge (and palate) grow.
