I moved this from mentors to here. It'd hardly a mentors question.

Fer crissake I typed parrot intp the search function and got this.

Search found 1380 matches
Search term used: parrot

1380 and you couldn't find one!!! Is this an indication of what we can expect from you in the future or will you actually try???? http://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtopi ... 9#p6885409

Probably because Parrot was spelled with only one 'r' ('parot')

Parrot is a container that accommodates an alcometer allowing the input to be secreted at the bottom and the overflow to go out thru the parrot's beak.

It talks non-stop tellin the ABV as it happens, live, as seen on TV!
