False Bottom?

As you read last week we ordered a false bottom so I thought it was time to make a post talking about our trial run with the new piece of equipment. So without further ado if you would take a look at the picture below you will see.... a shoe.... in a box. Clearly this is not a false bottom, unless you count how the sole of my shoe is falling off. Needless to say the false bottom has yet to show up leaving us brewless for the moment. Fear not, though, for hopefully it will arrive within the week and by this weekend we will be in full gear to brew!

Stout v3.0 should be ready to drink soon as well! More on that later.

So I propose a toast! Raise your homebrews to the... shoe... in a box... Cheers!

UPDATE: Disaster!!! After writing this post I happened to check the ol' email and found a message buried in with the spam from Mountain Homebrew. It seems this particular false bottom is unavailable from the manufacturer until further notice! Of course that can mean only one thing. There will only be a shoe in a box, nothing more. We will be looking for another place to get the false bottom (or perhaps just make one).
