Thanks philm00x

That looks like a great setup but probably more than I need for now. I think I'll just try the old swamp cooler on my next batch.

Thanks, but it's not my build video. I used it as a guide to do it myself, though. Works great!

HA!!! Gotcha. Hey, if you built one just like it, cheers on ya, Phil.

Looking at building up a pump switch box this week/weekend for our pilot system pumps. Will make sure to take lots of photos and post it up for others if they are interested in something like it. The idea is to keep from having to cut the factory power cords off of pumps, as many come with no switches at all. Basically it will be a GCIF outlet in a 2-Gang box with a plug and industrial switch on the face plate to turn the pumps on and off without having to run to the outlet and pull the cords out all the time. You'll be able to plug the pumps into this box and control them with the switches. We'll see how it turns out and works.

With craft beer getting the squeeze put on by politician friends of Big Beer in our state, it's making me appreciate more and more this hobby of ours.

Oh and on local beer news, Winter Park Beer Co. is going to open this Saturday. It's out on Corrine near Bumby in Orlando. Anyone going? I'd like to drop by and see what's good!

Eola Wine Co in downtown Winter Park has changed their name to The Parkview and is more craft beer oriented. Thinking of hitting them up tonight or tomorrow to see what's up.

My wife is in FL the past week, Tampa, she can't wait to get home. Humidity 70%ish, temps in the 90s.... LOL, she calls and I tell her how nice it is to be 72 degrees outside at home. She's gonna smack me when she gets back to (abby)normal ND. Sigh... party has to end sooner or later.

Really? With St Pete being so close to Tampa, he shouldn't have any problems finding Cigar City, Dunedin, and Saint Somewhere. Maybe he just needs to leave St Pete and venture to the surrounding areas.

I will pass those names on.

He is typical millennial. Lazy. Hasn`t been to Costco yet it`seems 9 miles from his apt and 4 miles from work. They have a decent beer selection. #weaksauce we tell him.
