Not to be a downer on that idea, but have you considered brew in a bag instead?

Digging up and replacing 20 year old sprinkler heads.

For the kegs I've got without pull up pressure relief valves, I tend to use a spare Gas QD to vent kegs, though that is using pin lockss.

I did two batches based on a left hand milk stout clone recipe. The first was phenomenal, but I overdosed with anise in the second batch and it wasn't ever worth drinking. My recipe for the spice base came from my wife's aunt, who's from India: 5-6 whole green cardamom pods 1/4 whole nutmeg...

I've done a chai milk stout several times...if you're doing something with some roasted grains, I'd just skip the tea bit and add some spices as the ferment is slowing down (straight or as a tincture). Just remember, a little goes a long way!

I've been stuck in the garage with a Whirley pop & a heat plate for about 6 months...definitely better than store bought, but gets a bit nippy in the dead of winter.

One of the guys in my club has done a few of these, and I think he prefers to use the cleaned roots over the heads, IIRC.

Not the best picture, but my Dad makes these for black smithing demonstrations.

Shipped today, you ought to see them sometime next week.

I can ship a few from Colorado, but I'm not certain if any of the vials I have are still labeled, if that's important to you. I'll check after work and get back to you if interested.

Awesome...premarinated chicken.

Freezing works well, so long as you've got the room. I've tossed my grain in gallon ziplocks and toss them in the deep freeze after letting them cool overnight on the garage floor. My aunt's chickens apparently go crazy for it.

The big one is a club project that's gone buggy, and the little one's full of an oatmeal stout (3rd fill).

For what it's worth, I've got a batch fermenting next to a batch of ale sitting at about 63, and it seems to be doing well, going on two weeks.

Probably not necessary for most of us. If you recirc during the boil, the problem takes care of itself. Just make sure to clean the valve to minimize chances of mold/etc between brews.
