Hey, all. I'm a metalworker in my early 20s who's decided to follow the old family traditions- grandpa on mom's side ran wild blueberry wine through his every fall, grandpa on dad's side blew out the back room of the house decades ago when his jankety pressure-cooker pot still clogged and exploded (the silence of the neighbours was purchased with spirits).
Well, okay, I only wanna follow -some- of the family traditions, preferably the less stupidly-dangerous ones. I've already built myself a 2" Boka coming off a 50l keg and done cleaning + sacrificial birdwatcher wash runs- I'll do a full build post in the proper forum. No problems so far, and doing the sacrificial run "properly" has got me well on my way. I'm looking forward to having more to post about real soon!

Re: tidings from Toronto
Welcome, I also have a 2" BOKA in the big smoke. I am jealous of your boiler though, mine is much smaller 
Stay safe.
