Yes, Ed brews a lot of beer. You should see his mash tun! To further beat the, if not dead, certainly the dying horse I would like to applaud Forrest for his accurate and thoughtful responses to the various posts that come across as not understanding the difference in what it takes to price...

I ran 25 feet of 5/8" red rubber water hose off a 1/2" tee from my water heater supply to my driveway and run 2 hurricane burners simultaneously with no problem. My water heater is in the front of the garage with 1/2" pipe fed from my attic which it comes off a 3/4" pipe there.
