I did it! I have officially started the journey.

I finally decided to go with a 15.5 keg as my boiler and start out with a modular build that uses 2” tri clover sanitary fittings soldered to 2” copper, this will include a thumper that can be added or removed with output to a Liebig, but really, who am joking as I’ve changed designs several times since gaining interest, and have read several posts similar to the above. What I think some will find some humour in is what happened to me today.
So I ordered a new keg from a local supplier last week. They did not provide any shipping info, so I was caught off guard when driving home from work today my wife called asking me why there was a keg on the front porch? Uhhh, uhhh, smoker project! I said proudly, as that’s another obsession. Let’s say she did not buy it, leaving wondering how much shit I was about to be in. Once home she quickly guessed what my intent was from previous talks, no secret to her that I’ve been interested in brews and whiskeys. Overall she took it better than I thought. So I suppose the hard part (one of them anyway) is over now, wife is on board as long as she gets cream liquor for Christmas. Now that’s a win for me. Now that he hard work begins. Promise I’ll document and post build. I was going to post the keg, but it’s just an empty keg, plus I haven’t figured out how to resize photos yet either. Anyhow, cheers and thanks to all the past and present contributors that make this such an awesome place to learn.
