Re: Bruery Provisions Closing - 30% off sale this week

Saw that on Facebook yesterday. Very surprising since they just went through so much to get that back patio space and the full pint license.

Re: Chest freezer kegerator Do's & Don’ts

I'll also add that it's a god idea to seal all the internal sheet metal seams with silicone caulking to prevent them from rusting. THe chest freezer will generate a lot of condensation and not properly sealed, the seams will rust. Just seal the wall to floor joint and the wall seam.

The sink I'm using to fill the bucket is <5 ft from the water heater. This is basically *right* at the output. The one thing y...

Re: Meeting July 17, 7pm Out of the Park

Great meeting guys. I am glad I was able to make it (even though I was an hour late). It's always great to catch up with people in person rather than on the forums. I have to say, I was a little disappointed in the number of guys that showed up. If you weren't there, you missed out on some great be...
