Olive on the front porch
We are lucky enough to know a few photographers, professional and otherwise. We spent the day with Bridie as she coaxed out some pretty amazing photos. The only problem was narrowing our selection of prints, which are very reasonably priced. We’re looking forward to our prints in the mail pretty soon. Here is a pretty cute photo of Olive on the front porch at the house.
The House of Bob recently acquired a kegerator while yard-sailing. A steal at $25 USD, it came with a 5lb tank of CO2 and regulator, a stainless half-barrel, and a fridge thermometer. It has a some Terrible Faux Wood Grain Detailing, but I’m planning on modernizing it a little. The corrosion on the chrome tap tower cleaned up surprisingly well on the buffing wheel. I needed to have the CO2 tanks hydrotested and refilled and replace all the tubing, but otherwise it was ready to go. I just kegged a batch of Porter and it is cooling down in the kegerator at press time. I’ll also be able to do lagering with a few modifications. The unit is currently relegated to the garage, but I’m planning on sneaking it into the house when no one is looking…
The stainless half-barrel is another project – The Keggle (Keg Kettle)- This will allow me to boil wort in 10 gal batches, twice what I’m doing now. I already had my local metal shop cut the top out with a plasma cutter. Now I need to get my hands on a ball-valve drain and weld that in, or optionally put in a bulkhead version of the same. But that is another post so stay tuned…
