Awesome! I have some friends that are firefighters and they would love it.

The tap handles look awesome. That cherry wood is beautiful, nice find.

I will post the recipes when I get home from work tonight. I think I got the blueberry mead from HBT, the honeysuckle came from Jack Keller's site, and the blackberry from a book I have called "First Steps in Wine Making". I'll dig them out and post them up later.

Thanks Ed Every time I see pictures of other guys things online I tend to feel inadequate.:o I guess its not how it looks but how much fun you have using it!:D

I moved from FL about 5 years ago and had never even seen a storm cellar, so the idea of usable space below ground is pretty cool to me. I do plan to one day gravity drain to the fermenter, but it will have to wait until I build a new shed to hold the weedwackers, push mowers, and light up...
