I jbwelded mine when I hit a line in the top. JBwelded a valve and put coolant back in using one of the kits from walmart for cars. about $30 bucks in to repair and it worked for a little over a year then crapped out. Was told to scrap mine, but thought what the hell.

Finished my second stirplate and thought I would post pics of both. Small uses 1 inch bar and is for yeast starters. The bigger uses a 2 inch bar and is for Mead. The glass is 2 gallon from Walmart for $10 I use for mead batches. The plan is to continuously stir the mead for the first week or so.

I accidentally discovered that sucking on a candy cane or other mint type candy really enhances the flavors of the spices in my holiday ale. Thought I would share and see if anyone else noticed this with theirs.

I love Sea Dog Blueberry Wheat. I get some every year, although it is starting to be available more. I tried to make a blueberry beer and quit, never as good as Sea Dog. Think I go dig in the beer fridge I have a few left in the back.

Bought one of these to try out. Able to drink half the Coor before I had to dump it. Put a little pipe tape around the top of the Co2 I got from my local homebrew shop and no leaks works great.
