When your daughter comes over, sees your bottle or glass empty and grabs another out of the fridge for you without you asking or ever teaching her

Helly said:"Dada beer" has been in our two year old's vocabulary for a good six months now. When my wife was pregnant with our son, our daughter would regularly remind us that dada drinks beer and mama drinks water.
That sounds familiar haha. My 6 yr old would get me a brew every few minutes when we were building his playhouse over the summer. I had a good 6er worth of backups before I told him that I couldn't keep up with him haha.

When you go to Bass Pro Shops, see a turkey fryer with a spigot and think "Oh Wow, Bass Pro made an outdoor brewing kettle!" Only to then realize it was a turkey frier...
Then you add said turkey fryer to your Christmas wish list anyways...

A Brew Strong show with John Palmer (who is a metallurgist by trade) suggests that we really overstate the dangers of copper or lead from fittings leaching into our beers. Way below any dangerous levels.Not bad!
"Copper spigot" though? Would that be a problem leaching into the brew?

The thought was a good one though. He loves you enough to try & make you proud of him. Pretty good for a 3 year old. Reminds me of when I was a kid. I could name the commercial from the first note. Mom & dad used to like showing that off to relatives & friends.
Life does not get any better than that. Until he grows enough that you can share it with him.A while back my 3 year old pulled me a pint from the kegerator when he noticed I didn't have a beer.

Copper isn't a problem at all pre-fermentation. It is the carbonation that reacts with copper to create a dangerous compound.

When you get home from a weekend away to discover that either you screwed up setting the thermostat for the weekend, or something went sideways with it -- and you come home (after being gone for three days) to find that it's 44° in your house -- and the air conditioner is running. And the first thought through your head (after resetting the thermostat and checking to make sure a pipe didn't freeze) is "Well, at least my cider is done with fermentation"
Suppose this counts as a modified cold crash?
(And brings more question in my mind as to whether I want to bottle carb the cider at all, or just bottle it flat -- I would imagine the yeast would still have enough in them to carb)

Oh yeah, BTW you know you're a homebrewer when you show your wife that pic, and yhe first thing she says is : "they sell homebrew stuff at BassPro shops? That figures." ;-)
