As much as that may appeal to me as a testosterone carrier, in my world it ain't gonna happen. Aside from the fact we are in a temporary house that is very small while we are waiting to move... she carried my a** for awhile when I started a business so that excuse won't work. I need to figure...

Well, I'm fairly limited on "acceptable" (to my wife anyways) places to put my fermenting buckets and figured I'd be ok in my basement but I just took a temperature reading and it's only 57 degrees down there and it fairly mild outside right now. This is below what recommended 64-72 degrees...

I certainly would not want turkey beer either! I can get it clean with scrubbing (or maybe napalm), I just thought I remembered hearing somewhere that aluminum was not good to use for some reason. Didn't think about Bartenders friend... great stuff!
