dkwolf is pretty spot on with his assessment of Ford. I bought a brand new 1991 F350 and by 1998 it had 90k miles and was on it's 4th transmission! I traded that in on a new 1999 GMC 3500 and drive that until 2014 and 460k miles! Only minor repairs needed; 2 water pumps, distributor drive...

That's cool!

Thank you! In all my excitement I neglected to mention it was catagory 18c...I really didn't think I had a chance!

OMG! 1st place!

A General Contractor is what you need. They will assess what needs to be done and line up the appropriate subcontractors like me... I do flooring; carpet, tile, hardwood, Lino, etc. They will know what order things need to be done and be able to schedule things properly.

Did these apple wood smoked baby back ribs last week and getting ready to put on 2 pork shoulders right now!

I judged several competitions last year and try very hard to fill out the scoresheets with helpful and credible information...but these scoresheets at the NHC threw me off my game a little bit. they force you into describing the beers with pre determined word like brown, tan, cream... not vey...

Beryl's Beer Co. Is a couple of blocks away from Crooked Stave too. A lot of barrel aged stuff!

I have done the New Belgian tour 3 times and have always gone standby (if someone doesn't show up I /we fill their spot). But I highly recommend getting on their list on the website.

Malt forward? I would get City Star's Outlaw...their very first bottle release! Then Grimm Brothers Fearless Youth? I'm assuming you can get Lefthand and Oscar Blues locally as they have pretty good distribution. If not definitely get some. O'Dells hasgood distribution too but if you can't...

Don't miss the New Belgian tour, it's fantastic! O'Dells and Fort Collins Brewing are right around the corner. Funkworks is less than a mile away and Horse and Dragon is right there too! In Loveland I would hit up Loveland Aleworks, Verboten (I had a Pro-Am with them last year! Awesome...

Setup for mashing.

I use 2 pumps. 1 to continuously run through my herms and the other recirculates the HLT liquor. If you don't mind moving hoses a couple of times (mine are all tri-clamps) then 2 is all you need. I take the HLT recirculation hose and hook it up my sparge system and take the HERMS hookup and...

If you used Whirlflock or Irish moss you should have a nice layer in the bottom of your boil kettle.

I would like to help but I'll be at the NHC that weekend too.

I'm thinking about getting a SS Brewtech 1/2 bbl fermenter. I can do 15-17 gallon batches but now only have a 14.5 gallon conical fermenter. My question is if I have a 17 gallon fermenter can I still do 10-12 gallon batches in it or is that too much head space?

I would mash at about 147 for 90 minutes. Unless you want a sweet tripel. Getting it to finish around 1.008-1.010 is what I look for...

Sorry, I thought I put that in there. I was looking for $300 for everything. Would like to sell it all together.
