PLEASE BE CAREFUL!! I have a friend that now brews = it for resale several hundred gallons at a time. When he started out he = was doing a small quantity, stirring it with an electric drill & paint = stirring attachment & had a little explosion when vapors were = ignited by a spark on the drill. Lost a good portion of his arm hair. = Since then he's been using compressed air rather than electric!
