hahahahahahaha, sometimes a good idea is destined for failure. I had this idea to turn some spare parts into a counterflow chiller. IT was a laughable fail. At least we enjoyed fine tuning our welding skills. Onto the next mad brewer project.
Ya win some and ya lose some. Nothing ventured nothing gained. etc… BUT, you always learn something by trying. Better luck next time! Maybe the next one will make you a millionaire?? Cheers!!!
