Hi Jeff

I encouraged my sister in New Zealand to make a small CT brewer using
the Taunton's article as a model. She bought the parts then the day she
was ready to assemble you come out with this "obsolete" comment <groan!>

Now remember what your mother must have taught you, criticism alone is
negative. To be constructive, you must also show the person how to do
it better! <grin> So how would you suggest a 5 gallon brewer be made?
