Seems you all have things to do today, its early here. A few friends coming over in the late afternoon

I took a hiatus from alcohol and brewing. I needed to. Not any longer. Thats all im going to say on the subject.

I have a question sbout CFCs and plate chillers. Im convinced of their effectiveness but what happens to the cold break? All goes into the fermemtor?
 
I have a strangish, to me, outlet in one of the upstairs bedrooms. I put my FLUKE mulimeter across the hot and return - 246VAC! Thats the outlet on the left. The one one the right 123VAC

How cool is this? A potential outlet for an electric brewery. Ive never seen an outlet so small used to carry 240VAC. Anybody know if its safe, up to code? I need to go to the breaker box and see if its even idrntified and ciruit protected.

Sorry Dan. Not much time today to respond to everything.

I would guess that is a dedicated A/C outlet. It is 240V 20A - both stabs horizontal. That could serve you well for an electric brewery. Looking forward to the build:mug:

Posted this in another thread but thought I would post it here as well since I follow this thread the most:
Just today I caught my son climbing the hallway wall like he was Spider-Man and while he was at the top I told him to get down and right at that second he loses his grip and falls and of course his brother is walking right below him as this happens so his ass falls right on top of his brothers head which dropped his brother instantly but causes him to flip forward face first into the wall making him bite his tongue pretty bad.

The worst part of this is I automatically defaulted to angry dad and while picking them both up and checking their injuries I am screaming at them about how stupid it all was. Not my proudest moment and I had to eat my pride afterwards and apologize to them for reacting badly. Scared the **** out of me though. I thought one broke his neck and the other broke his teeth. So I've been feeling like scumbag father of the year all day.

Hey brother, glad your boys are ok. You are certainly NOT a bad dad. Love, fear, and anger are all very powerfull emotions and the situation caused you to deal with them instantly and at the same time. Maybe you lost your cool for a few seconds but in the situation many of us would. The important thing is your boys are ok. Your son probably wont spiderman ceilings for awhile and he does, your other son wont walk underneath him[emoji3].

The way you dealt with it you recognize you could have dealt with differently and you made peace with your boys. Im sure they learned a little too. Dont beat yourself up anymore about this. Youre not a scumbag dad. Just a dad who cares about your kids - if you didnt care, then scumbag might be an adjectve to use[emoji3]

Let me get this right. You reflected on your actions, you recognized when you were unreasonable, you put aside pride to apologize to your kids and you were still dogged by guilt afterwards?

In my books you're a great father. I wish my dad was half the man you are.

This sounds very much like how my parents reacted when I was caught doing something stupidly dangerous. It went in three phases:
1. "What on earth were you thinking, you crazy fool?"
2. "You scared the daylights out of us...you could've been seriously hurt...don't ever do that again!"
3. "I'm sorry I yelled at you, but I was afraid you would get hurt!"

By the way, that was one of the many reasons why my parents were awesome.

I won't hesitate to apologize for being wrong. But I will never apologize for being protective.
 
I am guessing some sort of hair thing. I find that when in doubt its something for hair, nails or makeup. It doesnt look like the second or third option.

Sort of on the right track my friend on all three but not individualy. Bigger picture.
 
Hey late nighters. Happy this week is over. Planning on taking my boys fishing tomorrow. We just had a new reservoir open up this summer so hopefully they stocked it well. Might also brew a batch this Sunday, so it looks like I've got a fun weekend planned. Take care all.
 
Purse holder, my girlfriend got one too.

You win! Well done johnny! I've watched in bored wonder my wife use this device. We
Go to a resturant, she pulls something out of her purse and sets it on the tab!e edge - then her purse is hanging off the bottom - Securely! It's an ingenious marvel. I think I understand in layman's terms why it works; the elongated half circle, it negates a pivot point and the base gives a little leeway by way of lateral support needed because the hinge pin is adjustable to the edge of the base. Still perfectly centers load and support. There is also a slip resistant coating on the bottom of the base.
