Richard,

I'm glad to see you trying these. They are on my list to pick up this Spring. NOTE I wrote the note last Fall it just hasn't happened yet. My research shows that this may be a good one for wine making here in the hot and humid Coastal Deep South. I'll have to get SBL to help me with that but I have to first get them RIGHT!

Here is some other research you might be interested in.

AS ALWAYS IMHO AND YOUR MILEAGE MAY DIFFER!!!!!!!!

Life - Some assembly required, As is no warranty, Batteries not included, Instructions shipped separately and are frequently wrong!

Kentucky Bourbon - It may not solve the problem but it helps to make it tolerable!

Statistics - Data that analyst twist to support the insane opinions of those that pay them.
