    Oxeygenated the S@#$ out of my beer!!

    I used a elastic hair band wrapped several times around the hose where it slides over auto siphon tube. made for much better seal with no bubbles.

    Rubbermaid MLT Conversion but cant find cooler/stainless steel fender

    bloke, i searched high and low for 5/8 washers in madison. finally found them at menards, in the nuts and bolts dept (hardware, IIRC). patience was of great importance(lots to sort through), otherwise i would have thrown the hands up in disgust.

    Man that's bitter...astringent?

    The city water here uses chlorine. Wouldn't the chlorine dissipate quickly when heating the mash strike water to 160`-170`? I understand chloramines are alot tougher to get rid of.

    Dude! If you can part with $65 go with the bayou classic high-pressure burner, http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009JXYQY/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 this is fast! I'm thinking I can get 4-6 1 hour boil sessions per regular gas grill sized propane tank. Yes, it is a energy pig but my time is...
