Absolutely, When I lived in Ks my neighbor had a full blow beer making operation going on. He was always running six packs across the yard for me to "sample". I miss that dude.

I wouldnt call leavenworth buddies neighbors.

Wrong Fort, I was at Riley.

you were at both. I was there.

oh wait, back on topic. how good were the random 6 packs?

Hooked on phonics holmes, I said the exact opposite, that it WAS a waste for them to pursue these hillbillies. There just isn't enough revenue there for them to justify what they spend trying to catch them. They should leave Jethro alone.

When I lived in Denver in the early 90s, the homebrew bug bit me hard. I was doing all grain mashes every other weekend. I had to stop for a while when I realized had 26 cases of homebrew stacked against my dining room wall.

I lived in a not so nice area of Denver (Curtis Park) and friends would "stop by" because they "were in the neighborhood" at 1 am on a Saturday morning (translation = they struck out with the chick they were buying drinks for at the bar and blew their drinking budget for the night).

Anyway, I used to be able to brew beers that would rival ANY microbrewery in Denver. Can't say my I am still at the top of my game anymore, but I try to recoup my glory days a few times each year.

Back to the topic t hand, one of these days I will buy one of these in order to "purify" the drinking water for the water tanks on my sailboat:



Note that I would use this solely for the purposes of water distillation, and the production of essential oils and herbal extracts. No other alternative should be inferred because none is implied.
