Jim Roth is another beer guy here in the club. Even thought they are a pariah right now, Wicked Weed has some of the best sour styles out there and they are out of Ashville NC. For NIPAs, Magnify and other half have been my go to if I can get my hands on some. They are both a bit too far...
Wow, really well planned out build and thank you for posting it on NJRC. Love the lighting, look at getting a cover for your tank from artfully acrylic (or build one yourself because it is quite obvious you are pretty handy) to keep the fish in the tank and to keep the very appealing aesthetic...
