I think it's cool that you named your mash tun "Russell"

Russell never lets us down, he's gettin' up there in age, but he's as efficient as ever.
Your pot looks like the pot I have. Is it by chance a royal industries SS with aluminum bottom?

Next time I'm out there, I'll check. I bought it at a restaurant supply wholesaler. It is SS with a thick clad bottom. It's a great pot, I was hesitant to drill holes in it, but I'm glad I did.
Considering where you got it I bet we have the same pot. I mean it looks identical except maybe a bit smaller since I have a 10g pot.

Of course you must know 10g is bigger than 40qt

did you put snow in the pot?!

I put my immersion chiller into a 3gal pot filled with snow. Then I ran the wort through the chiller to get it down to pitching temp. The pictures make the melted snow look like wort, but there is no wort in the snow, and no snow in the wort
It actually worked great, I had to recirc for maybe 2 minutes because it would only take the 212 deg wort down to 80 deg, but after a little recirc, I single passed it straight into my fermenter. The chiller and snow-pot are too small for this to work properly. It worked, but constantly adding snow/stirring slush made it as much work as whirlpooling with the immersion chiller. It was a neat proof of concept since I had everything on hand and the snow was free.

Ditto. Almost. That's what apparently USED to be in our kitchen - there's a piece lining the bottom of the sink cabinet....
I was in North Pole August 2008 - visiting my daughter who had a summer internship at ARSC. Visited Silver Gulch Brewing. Twice...

The house was built in the late '70's and that is the original linoleum.
Google searches for "old linoleum" and ''70's linoleum" prove it was a popular color/pattern.
