impur Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Well i got off my arse and did some work on the stand for my cube. Took a couple hours and got most of it done. I'm going to add some more supports and then skin it obviously. So here we go Here it is with the cube on it, moved out of the way so i can park in the garage. Hence the crap under and around it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrgreenthumb Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 loving the cube, what kind of beer is that broken halo? can't wait to see this progress...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Snowcap It went together easy. Just a few hours of work. I think i'm going to skin it in black or a very dark stain. You guys think i should go with 250w or 400w MH? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgreenthumb Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Thats a thinker....if temp is not an issue, then I would say 20k 400, but if temp is an issue then 250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Guess I'd go the other way -- 250 with a decent reflector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgreenthumb Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 yea andy is right you would be fine with a 250, 400 would probably just be overkill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I'd do the 250w also. Everything about them is cheaper. (usually) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Good cuz i already have a 250w ballast and pendant. I wasn't sure how much light i'd get at the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impur Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Jubleale is my fav typically. Sam Adams winter ale took that top spot this year though. Man its good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewie Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Who made the cube? My new FAVORITE winter brew is Brrr from Widmer. 7.2% BABY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Sol made it i believe. I picked it up from Ryan. I'll check out Brrr. My beer fridge needs to be restocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Yeah Sol built it! Cant wait to see it setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Can't stand Jubeale. But I do like Sam Adams winter ale. Brrr is OK, (yeah 7.2% helps), but they made that this year instead of Snow Plow. So that deducted a few points from their score. The top spot goes to Arragant Bastard!!! BTW Miles I have yet to find that Double Arragant Bastard! Have you seen it lately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
