Add a faucet to your 2 1/2" Tower....

I have been working on an adapter to add one more faucet  to my  2 1/2 " Tower. You can buy a 3" adapter ,  but I've found no 2 1/2" adapters.   I have the solution. E-mail me if you have interest.

Brew Day

Tomorrow is planned brewing day. A friend is interested in the craft, so he will be joining me to get a feel for the process. We are going to do an all grain 11 gallon batch of a Nut Brown Ale. He's a chef by training so I don't see the point in boring him with an extract that he could easily do in his own kitchen. No we're going to jump right into the world of all-grain brewing. Making a craft ale from scratch.

With each brewing day that I do it seems I am always forgetting at least…
