So we were chatting about a decent low tech way of keeping the lines cold and I think we are just going to add another 6' or so to the lines and coil them in the bottom of the canoe and cover with ice. As far as emptying the weight at the end of the day we could either cut holes in the bottom...

It was epic. We had 32 taps and served 200 gallons to very happy festival goers in 3 hours.

Going to be tough to get a good reading if there is that much sediment as the viscosity will cause the hydrometer to stick. Can you get a clear, sediment free sample after it settles out a bit?

.177 HMR.....does a squirrel good.
