Stop in for a cup of coffee

When you brew 2 gallons and bottle 8 liters you have a little left over. Small plastic bottles work great to check for proper carbonation and a small sample to see if it's ready. This is chocolate orange stout. Not too chocolatey or orange flavored but this is the last little bit out of the bottling bucket. I would imagine this will improve with age. It is very smooth.

So why is everyone saying to use old, used headers to break in an engine?

what makes them get so red during break-in but not afterwards?

I think its more about the chances of running it lean and advanced during break in are higher, The friction idea is possible. Another is the rings aren't fully sealing at break in. I don't know why that would drive the EGT up but maybe it can.

Bottom line is most header coatings start to fail under high exhaust gas temperatures. Might be worse if they haven't fully cured - that part depends on the coating and the process.

Mike, see, 1 gallon is I think 3.785 liters, so if you brew 2 gallons and bottle 8 liters you are almost like Jesus and the Wine, you remember that story, don't you ? :D. LOL,. How much did you have left again ?

Waking up to expected but still sad news. My grandmother passed last night. She’d been on death watch all week after she stopped eating and drinking and slipped into a deep sleep.
 
Oh snap, I guess they didn’t shut down enough Power lines, big wildfire in LA county
 
Morning all...
Chris sorry to hear about your Grandmother.
Its shuttle Friday. Heading in a few to the airport in Kansas City (1 hr)to drop off the SNL. He's heading to Georgia to visit his daughter for a few days. I come back, pick Cheryl and the two Granddaughters up, and head back to Kansas City for a day of fun for them. Back home, and then to a high school football game tonight for some reason. I'll need an adult warmup before the game suppose to be cold..why why why???
Have a great day!!
