Shop

MidsouthMakers' Perpetual Beer Supply
- Ben Eishen has taken the lead on this group project \o/
- The thread can be found in the Google Groups
- It looks like between Joe (turkey fryer) and Ryan T (15.5 gal electric kettle) we have a way of cooking the batch
- We have a bottle-capper
- We will need "Star-San" for sanitizing the used bottles, which Ryan T potentially has available.
- We need to be on the lookout for a cheap keg or two
- We could use a working chest-type freezer for beer storage
- We need dark colored (brown prefered) pry-off glass bottles. Please donate your washed and rinsed bottles ** and leave them in the MsPacMan room for now, in the closet under the stairs.
- Recommended bottles: Abita, Sam Adams, New Belgium Breweries (Fat Tire, 1554, etc)

Accomplished!
- Ben E bypassed the fluorescent lamp in the shop that was causing the issues so the lights shouldn't be tripping the breaker anymore.
- Sonny's quad-copter took it's second flight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZNYr9neA4Q
