Sold it for $31 and already got me positive feedback! Did a test and now remember why i was selling it. Weighs a bloody tonne and you need to almost hang off the bugger to cap. So it does work!
Anyway, thats another $31 in my fridge/keg/stock pot fund......and then its a slippery slope to AG.
BTW - i successfully bought the house i mentioned elsewhere with the garage converted into a bar. Its got 4 apple trees so if my cider making experiments go OK then i am away. Also has 2 apricot trees so i will be trying some of the apricot wheat recipes when next years crop come along. Just need to figure out whether i can add figs to beer......
