I hate making mistakes (on pretty much anything), so I had to have all my T's crossed and I's dotted before I took the plunge. That, is my wife told me to finally work on it while my mother-in-law is here helping us get through the first weeks with the new baby! Im happy to answer any questions you've got. Like I said...I did a bunch of reading/research, soninfee pretty confident talking about it now. I started with plain pine 2x6s, then red oak 1x8s on three sides. The 1x8 size keeps the collar in place on the freezer and the oak gives it a really nice look after it's stained. It's also nice to have a little extra room for the shanks. The CO2 is outside the freezer. I have a 20lb tank, so it wouldn't fit very well with three cornies in there. You can see the CO2 line coming through the collar up by the fan leading into the manifold. You and your girlfriend have got your priorities in order! I picked up a bunch of stickers during Aslin's 2nd Anniversary Festival this past weekend. I've also got a handful of others already in hand, so I'm off to a pretty good start. I also need to build a tap list of some sort to hang over the keezer. That'll probably happen during the Holidays or thereabouts. I love me an Altbier, and the bourbon/oak pumpkin beer sounds great! I love oak in bigger malty beers, so it should work out really well for you. I'd love to give it a try! Smart thinking with the oak on the outside. Glad that I asked. I'll let you know how the two beers turn out but they're a few weeks away. If you like malty beers, then you're probably going to like the Alt. I'm a little worried it's going to come out of the fermenter in the shape of a loaf of bread. Big malt to hop ratio! 3 minutes ago, C.A.P.E. said: Hard to say from the pic, but fox is my guess. Most poop that size (and general look) around here is either geese or fox. That dude might have a bit of a digestive problem though. I was thinking that or a raccoon. I'd take a fox traipsing through my yard anytime over a raccoon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Skunk is bad around here- rabid skunk. My mom has dogs she trains for field trial work and agility, and she has had 2 rabid skunk encounters in the last 3 years. She ended up having to get the shots to be on the safe side the second time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were there any bones, fur or talons in it? I didn't see any bones, fur, etc, but I'd have to take a second look. There have been some hawks in the yard, but I've only seen one owl in the 14 years here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I think I figured out why the main trop thread gets on my nerves so much. It seems that some believe the more they post the higher their cred or expertise is. But in reality they simply talk too much. Pretty much the same as a good bs artist.

Jebman Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Every year I learn something new. When we have a neutral to weak La Nina ENSO state, as we do now - The Mid Atlantic will get very little to no rain from landfalling tropical cyclones in the US. In such an ENSO state, it is probable that we will see NO entrainment of tropical moisture from any landfalling tropical entities into frontal structures whatsoever, and NO rain at all in the Mid Atlantic. La Nina brings warmer than normal temps in the Mid Atlantic, and much drier conditions as well. Therefore I expect a warmer than normal fall and winter, and it will also be much drier than usual, although I do foresee a chance of us getting some rain in March 2018. We avoided the drought this summer --- but it is just beginning now, and will proceed into the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
