Many like to post about a first successful ferment (or first all grain mash), or first still built/bought or first good run of the still. Tell us about all of these great times here.

If he can open a keg with that handbag pfshine, I'd hate to imagine what damage it'll do to you when he gets hold of you :lol:

KEKEDOG I will leave you alone if you tell me which purse you used to get the spear open. Well maybe I will leave you alone. OK I will try to leave you alone. OK I won't leave you alone and will chase you from fourm to forum agrivating you. I do mean that in the best way possible though. Bless your heart.

Every thing is cool . I'm used to yall's crass remarks and I take it all with a grain of salt. And I do have a good sense of humor . A person has to on this forum or else he would never return .Ha ! I can take a joke as well as the next guy as long as there's an answer or some useful info in there some where.I can usually glean out the serious responses from all the jocularity. What it really comes down to is lets all have fun AND share our knowledge with others who are partaking in this some what exclusive activity. And to googe , it's going to be a boiling vessel that is not only larger but will eliminate the need for flour paste every time.

Ive never seen the guy's this froggy. :)
I laughed way harder than I probably should have. Wasnt expecting funny, just a thread about valves. Should have read this thread days ago.

My first sankey was molested with a torch to make room for a 3" ferrule. :( inferior choice on my behalf.

I agree with Googe. They are a very exact fit. I also would not waste any purse on an anything from Anhueiser Bush.

That's what worked for me. Getting the spring out was relatively easy. But then turning the valve/spear assembly seemed impossible, even after I hit it with a rubber mallet on the end of a screw driver. Sprayed WD 40 and waited . . . hit it ... waited... finally it turned easily.
