Crabs X2 winter buildup

[Crab]

Hey crab I think it's time for some HOOK BREW!!! maybe 10 gallons

You know, we havn't fired up the cookers since 01 or 02, no wonder I have been so thirsty. Maybe after I get the sanding and paint done, its time to get all the stuff out and make 20 gallons. (10 each). That should hold us for at least.......a few.urr:

I've got a bit of crystal malt left over from "an experiment"... Will that buy my way in for a 5 gallon keg? I'll bring my own keg...

How's about I up the ante'?

10 lbs of Crystal & I supply a growler of my own cultured ale yeast...(I tried a mini mash not too long ago and have lots of stuff left over):sneaky:

By the way - thanks for the glass fabric. I think I'll be fitting it to my hull for reinforcing tomorrow...

You rock bro. I got lots of ideas from this thread. Thank you.

Sweet how much did you have to cut off.

Sweet how much did you have to cut off.

Picture 2 shows it, about 3/4 inch at the top to nothing at the bottom. I left some buildup of epoxy and biaxial just incase I need to grind a little more for clearance. Also, the hull is really thick there, so I can also take it down at least a 1/4 inch if needed. The small air tubes are moved over about 1/2 inch, and the front is opened up to about 2 3/8 inches with a 750ss type splash deflector. This setup should keep the water out, and be unrestrictive like running open tops I hope.

When I was running that on my SX-R I pulled the tubes. You dont need them.

I know, its just that there seems to be much more driveline water whip on the X2, and I don't want a large hole at the rear. The huge front one should compensate.

Hows this build going?

I feel like I am stuck in neutral, been too busy at work and the weather sucks. Just need to sand and paint, then get the motor together and finish her up. Most of the parts are here now, and even my B chamber showed up friday.
