I'll be drinking my Otto's Excellent Super Bowl.
And rooting for the Seahawks, though Denver's a great team and Peyton probably deserves another ring. Going to be a great game no matter what.

Nope, I'm in the keweenaw by Houghton. You come up that way?
if we didn't brew in cold, we wouldn't be able to for most of the year.. I've never had a problem with my brewing equipment in the cold, it may take longer to get a boil, but the wort chills quicker! :)
+1 for keg connection. I just purchased my kegging setup from them and they were by far the best pricing I could find. I'm set up for a two keg system and am planning on using party taps and a mini fridge which might be a good route for you too. They're portable and cheaper than a full size...
