    Great guys, keep 'em coming. We are at about 12, I would like to see at least 25. That is less than 10% of the registered users for the DSM area.

    I'm getting a BRS order this week (probably Monday) and in it will be my Milwaukee Digital Salinity meter. Since this is good timing, I will be bringing it to the BBQ or giving it to Nick if I can't make it.

    So bring samples of your tank water and your refractometers or hydrometers (I'll also bring my $20 eBay refractometer and calibration fluid) and if there's time, we can do the Pepsi challenge on this thing, and you can see how accurate your equipment is or isn't.

    Also I wonder what the salinity of beer is. We may find out.
