Hello all-
I started listening to the archives back around bevo's last show. I'm working my way forward listening to them all in order. I've made it to the 1 month lunch meet anniversary show.
I started brewing back in 2002 doing extract. My first two batches were horribly infected. I was doing the concentrated boil and cooling with ice and tap water! Changed to full boil on a turkey fryer and cooled the pot in a bathtub.
I switched to all grain in 2005. I make around 5 to 10 batches a year. This year in hoping to make quite a few more than that, and the wife wants to start making her own batches, too.
I currently use a 5 gallon round cooler as my mlt, and a converted keggle. I added a spigot, sight glass, and integral immersion cooler to it today.
Anyway, love tbn. What an amazingly crazy idea to start 6 years ago. Glad to see it has been such a huge success. Hope it keeps going strong for many many years to come.
