Drilled and tapped my 3 tap handles. L to right 338lapua(not mounted yet), 50 cal tracer for an M8 spotter rifle, 50 BMG. Test fitted, I need to clear coat them yet and paint the fridge.

Worked on my 40 gal rotomold fermenter. Fabricated a stand, rolled the chiller coil from 60' of 1/2" copper tubing. I was planning on using 50' but the extra 10' just might fit. Soldered the fittings, drilled the holes in the cap and top side and installed bulkhead fittings to mount the coil and blow off tube.
Tomorrow I'll paint the stand and start applying reflectix to the fermenter.
 
Planted some new hop varieties. Should be interesting. Columbia, Serebrianka, Vojvodina. Would be cool to have some hops that aren't readily available. Also an extra Cascade.
 
Racked a batch of Yooper's FYB to a serving keg. Hyd sample tastes goooooood.
 
I also racked my use up hops pale ale into a keg.

Installed the liquid disconnects in my new kegerator and the keg is now chilling
 
I'm getting ready for the maiden brew using my single barrel system. I've gotten my various components organized so that everything is in reach by use of pumps and hoses, wiring connection on my nuclear mash tun checked, fermenter set up (stc1000+) set for the recipe, after completing the fermenter I'll need to run the CIP to remove any debris and sanitize. I made a 2L starter and that was today.

Tomorrow I'll run everything backward from the fermenter to the boil kettle then to the mash tun in cleaning. Power wash, boil and acid wash my fermenter coil finally sanitizing everything. I think then I'll be ready for a brew. Only a 20 gal triple to start.
 
Moved my Yooper's FYB from cold crash side to serving temp side of my side-by-side and put it on CO2.
