I always figured that going to the proper thread makes sense, so wrapping this up would just make us do another thread on this. If this happens, the experience and pages from the previous input is lost.I wonder what thread has had the most pages in the history of Brew-Bros?

it's in the ph. there's a gif thread...that has the most pages, then there's a joke thread with the second most (i believe), and then a thread that can no longer be found about zimmerman that has the third most.

The gif thread though is the standard. The joke thread merged several joke threads into one and almost overnight it was a Mega-Thread.But as for the Beer Forum... hmmm... not sure, but i'm guessing around 20 pages.

Huh... who knew!? I bet if we start a thread in the Beer Forum titled "Beer Is Proof That God Loves Us", we could easily hit 20 pages before it gets locked.

I was going to start cutting off some copper pipe today to fit this cooler, but wanted to know first if this hump covering the front wheel would pose a draining problem and make this a no go?httpss://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-wvJyPVhf9mU/T9H5Y9FOa7I/AAAAAAAAAfE/R6tqWe-XSRY/s700/Cooler.JPG

If your manifold is on the bottom of the cooler and you put a nipple on your valve with a hose that goes lower then the manifold then you will get most of the liquid out of the tun. When I made mine I made sure to solder the connections taht were higher then the manifold so it wouldnt suck air when they were out of the liquid.Dan

Gotcha, makes sense. Thanks. Tell me again how you got the burrs off the slits?
