I think we are finally done. Almost. Just about. 1 more thing or 2 to do and then all done.

I think Keno said he had a wedding to go to today. I won't be surprised if he doesn't respond until tomorrow. I know I wouldn't.

1 or more two things are now done for the cookies. Done and done!!

It's fine. I'm patient. In the meantime, you might help him with the new thread name.

Yep, reading it can be a little off. So, an update to it, I think, would be warranted. Something a little more to do with what we are doing, whatever that may be.

The Waiting for the next giveaway is good....
Since I have no grains, and I am going to win the BrewEasy system, I decided to give a clone system a whirl. I was bored this weekend and we had a massive cold front blow in.

Rebuilt my 120v PID TO 220v, just need more wire to make the cords longer. It is buried in the corner there between the cart and dryer.
Everything else I have on hand.
The Upper kettle has an element in it but it is not being used it is my 120v rig, the bottom kettle is my 220v rig.
Upper kettle 44qt Bayou Classic kettle, lower kettle 64qt Bayou Classic kettle.
It would be difficult but possible to do a 5gal batch in the 10gal BrewEasy. The float is almost necessary, the viscosity of the fluids change with temperature so you have to adjust your valves and watch things closely so you do dry fire your element. The flow restriction gaskets would make things easier as well.

This is the first time I dry hopped in the keg and Saturday morning I realized I did not have the floss tied off and the bag slipped in and sank to the bottom....I fished it out with a racking cane and retied it....now I hope all is well and carbing up
Headed to Lubbock tomorrow to get some repairs done on my truck. While I'm there stopping by the homebrew store and picking up grains to give the system a full test.

A cousin dropped me off two glass carboys that were used for water delivery a while he had lying around...I am not a real fan of glass but I think I might use them to make a few sour beers and age them in it.
