Sweet.

To those of you who don't know, I could literally walk 50 feet right at this very moment, and snap a picturesque photo of Lake Michigan and the Point Beach Nuclear Plant, where I work as an engineer.  However security might frown upon this behavior.  And I'll also say that it's really nothing very special to look at.  We don't have the awesome cooling towers.

Yeah, that's a little higher volume blue mash tun than my Coleman.

Are you a former Navy "Nuke?"

Woah! What the heck happened to this thread? It took a turn for sure!

Cooling towers are cooling towers. They are used in some coal plants to cool the water in the turbine loop. They are also used at chemical plants and refineries.

I pointed out to another American who came over to work in Germany that the "Nuke Plant" he drove by was not a "Nuke Plant". It had a cooling tower, but had no containment dome, and a big black pile of coal and the conveyor to take it to the furnace, and very tall smoke stacks.

You can say that again.  Here, I'll help you out:

To answer Mr. Yeast guy, no, I am not a Navy nuke, but I work closely with dozens of people who are.

[hmbrewing]

Wait....what were we talking about? Why am I here?

[dmtaylor]

Sorry, man.  I'd like to tell you it won't happen again, but with goofball engineers in here... it probably will.

not to mention-when you drain a thread to death..they will turn.

Right, you start to extract some tannins at that point
