Hex, got an email back from Peter:

"I have thought about a cigar tool in the past. What I wanted to do rather than make a cutter would be to make a punch tool. However, the design I have in mind is a little different than one normally sees...I may look into it further in the future but for right now it's on the back burner.

Thanks,

Peter"

So it's not in the works right now, but that's not a NO either! Alright!

And thanks, Hefty! Glad to be here...

Great intro welcome to the boards

Nice summary on what to know about accessories.

I homebrew as well, just a simple extract plus specialty grains to flip-top bottles set up.

Welcome from Oregon.

thanks! Same here...I'm having too much fun with extract at the time to change my setup. I brewed with a buddy of mine that does all grain batches and from start up to clean down it took us EIGHT hours!

I can knock out an extract batch and clean the gear in 3 or 4, then have more time for drinking...

I'll do an extract with grains from time to time when I'm short of time but I like getting ten gallons for the same price as five gallons of extract and grains.
