IMHO, my gadgets are cooler, but your variety and organization blows me out of the water. Nice job! Wish I lived closer!

yeah, Yuri, your gadgets are definitely cooler. I don't really even have any gadgets. The most mechanically complex piece of equipment I have is probably my immersion chiller ...

Thanks for all the complements, guys! I gotta say, building that countertop/workbench setup was one of the best things I've done. Not only does it give me a big, clean workspace for bottling, measuring ingredients, carboy storage, etc., but it also just coincidentally turned out that it fits my big ingredient/equipment tubs perfectly on the lower horizontal bracing. Believe me, I didn't plan that.

Before I built that thing, that area was dead space...mostly used for storing piles of boxes and lumber. Now, I spend lots of time there

My next operation is to continue my 20A circuit from the shop into this room, and run some 4-ganger receps directly above the countertops. Tired of running extension cords all over the place any time I want to use the heating pad or aerator.

Anyway, thanks again. A side note...we got this crazy cold front sweeping the eastern seaboard last night. I checked my fermometers on the lineup...and the carboys are actually down to 54f. Christ, I could ferment a lager without even trying. But, hey, at least I don't have any ales still fermenting---right now, it's all cold-conditioning for them.

Yeah looks like my Fermentis Weihenstephan dry Lager strain is coming right in time.... Cold here, finally feels like winter.

Aw, no doubt. Went to walk the doggie this morning, and I 'bout froze my face off with the wind chill. The best part is how it's been so warm that a bunch of bulbs have come up, only to get their premature asses handed to them by this cold front. Damn. I think the daffodil harvest will be light this year...
