Matt,
We still never really got down to who actually won
(in what order) with what machine at the 2004 Texas Tea-off.
Some claim it was Malcolm Beck using a farly expensive
Wormgold Machine.
Just what kind of machine? I've spent a lot of time on old Posts
and you don't hear a whole lot about Wormgold machines.
Was this an Extractor that won?

Tim says there was a fellow there (Royce) that saw a Steven Storch
Air Lift machine stomp the bunch of them.
With the only 12 hour machine (according to SFI in the past)
being the 5 gallon KIS (blowing 51 LPM) BUT the
mighty Steven Storch 5 gallon unit (blowing 100 LPM)
who knows.

The question is what will be the LPM numbers be in 2012 / 2013
compared to these oldies.

I haven't gotten around to tracking this Tea-off story down but will.

Of coarse you had the brutal heat (for October) and the Bruce Deuley
story going on at that time. At least 2 eye witnesses on
You Tube say Bruce's little cheaper than cheap 5 gallon
unit stomped the 28 gallon KIS brewer for 2nd place.
Another account has the KIS coming in 2nd after the Wormgold.
Heat may have stomped the 22 gallon EPM machine and others.

The Legendary Bob-O-Later Company (that was there in 3 versions)
has changed hands.
Getting some story on that technology is on my to do list
but I did already study his nozzle set-up and it wasn't
what I needed. Some people feel you have to reach into
higher dollar endeavors that share your interests sometimes.

Who knows what happened?
It might be nice to know just for the fun of it.


Bill
