I would like to share on how I made a beer fridge:

I, too, had the problem of having a standard fridge with a worthless
freezer (too small and too cold) on top. So I trashed (took off) the
doors and the partition between the fridge part and the freezer. So the
evaporator is exposed, I built a new floor halfway up so kegs and
carboys can stand upright - both on the newly-built floor and
underneath.

By exposing all wire ends I determined which ones belonged to: 1. hot
2. ground or common 3. compressor 4. defrost elements.

***Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for any damages that may incure
to person or property, all work should be done by qualified person.****

Then I unplugged the fridge and connected the hot wire to the
compressor. Wirenutted off the remaining two.

The doors were built out of 2x2's and plywood, insulated with stryrofoam
sheeting.

A Hunter thermostat is hung in the top part set at max (40F) which is
useful for quasi-lagering, and for serving lager beers.

I now use a freezer for 32F lagering. It does make a difference.

With the top set at 40F, the bottom always stays at 57F -- just right
for lager fermenting and ale serving temperatures.

I can only chill wort down to 80F in the summer, so I put the warm wort
in the fermenter in the top fridge-just inches away from the evaporator,
this takes the heat out quickly.

To serve beer via draft, (and to get a creamy head on my stout!), I
drilled holes in the doors to poke hoses through to attach cobra head
dispensers, and gas lines. Next time I'll drill the holes in the side of
the fridge to avoid the hassle of beer lines being in the way.

Prosit!

about 40 of the 12-16 oz beer bottles with a rubber seal and an attached

Linda,

You were wondering about knitters and crocheters (?)... well, we're
out here with busy hands.

Last week I located the Sugar & Cream cotton yarn and got to work
knitting that dishcloth.  Very nice.  Easy to do in the evening
while in front of the T.V. after a hard day at work.  Worked up
wonderfully on #8 needles.  Now I'm in a dilemna... the dishcloth is
so nice, I don't have a heart to use it on dirty dishes!  My mother
thinks it will be a nice potholder, though somewhat dangerous
(holes).  The yarn cost $1.98, and made 1.5 dishclothes.  At the
price, I can probably buy readymade that won't break my heart when I
wipe up chocolate with it.  On the otherhand, it will be a
conversation piece at Christmas gift exchanges, where they put a $5
limit on the gift (what in the world can you find today for $5?).

So, thanks for the pattern, I'm going to use it anyway.

In spinning, the main parts of your body that move are your
ankles (to treadle) and your fingers (to manipulate the fiber
before the twist reaches it). You may find this latter movement
very hard on your wrists.

Once you establish a rhythm, spinning is a bit like meditating.
You're doing a constant repetitive motive. You can choose to
either think about other things, or just let your mind empty.

Date: 2 Oct 92 10:37:57 -0500
Organization: George Mason University, Fairfax, VA.


As to washing wool, YES, I agree with Victoria. It is a religious issue.

But I would like to add one more thing (and possibly more fuel to the
fire :-). The recipe that I posted was to take as much dirt out as possible
while leaving some lanolin (not all, just some) still on the wool - without
using a washing machine (I didn't always have access to one in the past.) This
is a technique used in cabled "fisherman" sweater yarn, which adds to the
warmth of the garment while providing a small measure of water-proofing.

Leaving in too much lanolin, BTW, makes processing the wool for spinning
an Olympic event. And since I don't go in for weight-lifting, I will
decline to pull even one more rolag of unwashed wool from my wool-combs.

Currently, I am experimenting with the washing machine method for washing
fleece. I like it because I can do several pounds at once. But I haven't
yet hit on the right combination to leave in enough lanolin to be pleasant
while getting out all the dirt (and smell) for this method. (And I have a
*great* incentive to get rid of the smell, as Dan [my husband] has a 
sensitive nose and a great knack for sheep noises.) Maybe that glug of
vinegar ...

One final note - I developed this method while washing Ramboulliet fleece
and, after hearing how willingly it felts, I was very careful of water
temperature. But after seeing no appreciable difference in warm vs hot
wash water and hearing Victoria's comment, I am inclined to try hot
water, too.

Back to figuring out *where* to put my angora rabbit cages ...

This is one to mark your calendars for, if you live anywhere in
Northern California (or can get here on December 5th).

There will be an exhibition and sale of more than 100 antique
quilt tops and crib quilts never shown before, from the collection
of Linda Reuther and Julie Silber, who ran a well-known shop called
Mary Stricker's Quilt in N. CA.

Date: Sat., Dec 5, 1992. 10 am to 5 pm. (one day only)

Location: Esprit showroom, 901 Minnesota Street, near Third and 20th,
San Francisco, CA 94107. This is not the Esprit clothing outlet but
is nearby).

For more information, call Julie Silber at 415-461-7637 or Linda Reuther
at 415-453-7942. If you can't make it to this sale,their shop is
called Hearts and Hands, 241 Sir Francis Drake, San Anselmo CA 94960.
415-457-1266. They also sell "folk art", new reproductions, there.

They had a booth at the Marin Quilt Show recently and judging from what
was in the booth, this sale should have some real goodies. Not cheap,
but really nice antique quilts. I do not have any connection with them
and will not profit by this sale. It would be fun to go just to see the
quilts, even if you don't intend to buy any (free admission).

Spinning is certainly an interesting topic.  Yes, I would like to know more and if Sue has the time, this is a nice group to post it too.

I have carpal tunnel syndrome and am wondering if anyone else has this affliction and still does all the wonderful things with fabrics, fibers, etc. that my
heart still desires to do, but my hands often can't.  I can't crochet, but
knitting is okay.  I also have trouble with pins and needles but still sew
whenever the mood strikes.  Also computerizing, since it's what I get paid to
do (sort of).

I have been told that spinning is very relaxing.  That, too, is something I
would like to hear from experiences spinners.  Then, the next thing is I
will probably want to pick up a used spinning wheel.

Given all of the talk about organic material here lately, and all the

Has anyone heard about the new line of clothes available at Macy's called:

The radio ad talks (I heard it on several radio stations here in the 
San Francisco bay area, CA) about the clothes being made of organic 
materials using no pesticides, no toxic dyes, etc, etc.

I was wondering two things:

	Has anyone else heard about this new product or tried/seen it at Macy's?

	Are they using the new cotton we've heard which is naturally colored
	through genetic engineering (last we heard here, the woman who invented
	"colored" cotton has material available for retail sale and there was

linda brings up something near to what i've been thinking about
for a while...

i think there are lurkers out there who read the group for a
little while or are new to the group, and don't see a topic
they're interested in, and leave.  

what would y'all say to a "welcome to r.c.t" posting?
or a "r.c.t what/who are we?" posting?

that way, people could bring up topics such as cross-stitch 
(me?!? biased towards cross-stitch???  :-)  ), knitting,
quilting, etc. without the terrors of knowing if they're in the
right group or not.  (i call this flambe'phobia)

we could give a list of general topics that get brought up, and
what we are interested in...  such as:

 - request for
 - address of

 - crocheting
 - cross stitch
 - embroidery           (notice these are alphabetical  :-)  )
 - knitting
 - needlepoint
 - quilting
 - spinning
 - etc.

and if i left out something near and dear to your heart, please
let me know.

with respect to cross stitch, i am interested in hearing about
projects, ideas, materials, magazines, shops people visit and
what they are like, how many projects you have started/lined
up/stored in a closet, ...  also framing ideas, care of, ...

we could also mention the existance of alt.sewing and rec.crafts.misc.

if you could e-mail me some ideas - or better yet, post them, i
can put together a prototype, and post it every couple of weeks
- with the same subject so it could be killed by long time
readers/posters/lurkers.

what do you think???
