Holy crap did the cost of propane ever shoot up!

I just filled my 3 tanks, and it's 96 cents/litre!!

Cold weather in the US mid-south west this winter has created a high propane demand and supply shortage.

But don't worry, it will go back down a few cents once the shortage is over... I mean, right before it goes up again for the summer BBQ season. Next fall there will be a fear of a winter shortage again so they will naturally have to raise prices then too.

It energy economics 101.

Yeah. Costco. I can't even imagine what a swap at Irving would cost. $60?

Good argument for electric brewing!

My only problem with electric brewing is the space.

One approach would be to start the conversation with "dear I think you need more storage space for... " - of course she'll see through it but there's still the alure of getting something substantial out of it...

A garage is on the (distant) horizon. I'll just need to get water and power down there. But, I like the way you think.
