Ditto on the 7/8 lennox hole saw!!!!

Hey Rick500, They did name it officially "Kentucky Coal Porter". Had the first taste at the Homebrew meeting last night. Turned out pretty good, so good a keg found it's way into my fridge!!!! Actually going to be nice the next couple years coming up, drinking beer and watching you guys...

I have a stout I am wanting to leave alone for a couple months. Are there any issues with long secondary's?
