My wife and I grew up on well water, our first house used village well water which was much softer then well water. Later on the village migrated to Lake Michigan water which which seems 10x softer water then the village well water. Current day I plummed RO water to my refrigerators and use a...

More like a creamy cold brew coffee, not as caffeinated as an espresso. There are commercial examples for sale in can form at the stores.

Cold brew infused with nitrogen and forced through a nitro tap, same concept as Guinnees beer served on beer gas (75% nitrogen/25% CO2) which gives the cold brew a sweeter/smoother taste. This is accomplished by a higher pressure of nitrogen forcing the cold brew coffee through small holes in...

My new cold brew nitro setup. I brew the cold brew in my OXO cold brew coffee maker using Cameron's beans from Costco and serving it with my UKEG nitro cold brew coffee maker infused with nitrogen.

I believe it looked like the photo below, I havn't seen in over a year.

My all time favorite coffee beans from Costco is the Kona blend (I forgot from what company) that I only see it close to the holidays. It does not stay on the shelves very long.

Congratulations, the "real" test however is how it holds up over time.

Since you are starting with a 1/2" hole and enlarging it to 1", the bit will not be under much stress.

From experience from my bits, the drilled hole is the same size as the marking provided you have the bit squared up.

And don't run your drill at high speed. When getting close to the size hole that you need, take your time and only do 1 step at a time and measure between steps since you can't reverse the drill and make the hole smaller.:oops:

I bought a foodsaver several years ago on sale that has worked fine for me but I don't use it very often.

Looks like a nice compact unit. I am apprehensive about units with proprietary filters and companies who emphasize marketing over technology.

If possible try sampling water at different parts of your system. For example before the faucet and after the faucet to help determine the source of the problem.

I originally had an issue with bio film in my RO system. I turns out that was because I had a 1 micron carbon filter downstream of the 5 micron sediment filter and 5 micron carbon filter. I re-pipped it to use the 1 micron carbon block as a "polishing" filter after my RO tank. I havn't had a...

If you like lager beers, I highly recommend Goldfinger Brewing Company in Downers Grove, they only serve lagers. Near Westchester I suggest Imperial Oak, Buckledown Brewery, and Noon Whistle Brewing. +1 for Sawa's Old Warsaw Restaurant. For European sytle restraunts with a great selection of...
