I have been using my craigslist chest freezer as a keg server for a little over 2 years. I have a temp controller set at ~45 degrees F.

Attached is an analysis of Carrollton water and the same water RO filtered from 2008. Carrollton is part of Dallas's water system. Thank you for the data.

Can you explain what you mean by ported?

Has anyone mounted or seen a whole house cartridge filter of this stand? If so, I'd love some ideas. Thanks.

I'm attempting to formulate a robust porter recipe and would like help deciding which is more appropriate for the style; Black Patent or Dehusked Carafa III?
