Howdy All,
This looks like a great Forum.
Made a few 5 Gallon Batches, but mostly Mr. Beer batches.
Just received a BrewDemon conical fermenter and can't wait to try it out this week.
I have a few Mr. Beer extracts to try in it first, then will get some BrewDemon kits to brew!

Welcome to the Borg, Galaxie66. I can't believe there are 65 other members on the forum with the name Galaxie. :lol:
Things men have made with wakened hands, and put soft life into
Are awake through years with transferred touch and go on glowing
For long years.
And for this reason some old things are lovely
Warm still with the life of forgotten men who made them.
