Injured Herd returns to Villa Park
On-loan Lincoln midfielder Chris Herd has returned to Aston Villa after suffering a season-ending injury during the defeat to Notts County. Herd was forced off early in the second half of the 3-1 loss on Tuesday night and scans have revealed the 21-year-old has medial ligament damage that will keep him out for at least a month, thus meaning he will not feature again this campaign. Herd joined Lincoln towards the end of November and made 22 appearances for the League Two club in all competitions scoring four goals.

One day you may lift the lid off your compost bin and come face-to-face with a grass snake. This handsome, harmless animal seeks out warm spots in which to lay her eggs. The heat generated by rotting vegetation provides perfect incubating conditions for the eggs, which can number up to 40.
Another favourite nesting spot is under rotting logs. Depending on the temperature in the nest, the young grass snakes should hatch about two months later and adults can live up to 15 years.
From August, the hatchlings - each a mere 10cm long - emerge from their shells and have to fend for themselves. The young snakes, sometimes called 'shoelaces, face many dangers and make easy pickings for predators.
The grass snake is the largest of our three UK native snakes (two of which occur in Wiltshire). In the summer adults spend their time basking in the sun and foraging for food. They hibernate between October and March, seeking out frost-free places.
Compost heaps come in useful again as cosy winter nests.
They are excellent swimmers, and ponds, slow moving streams, marshy ground or ditches provide them with their preferred diet of frogs, toads or newts - which they swallow whole. They may also feed on fish, small mammals and young birds if they can catch them.
Grass snakes typically grow to one metre in length but sometimes much longer. They lack any venom and so, despite their size, they are vulnerable to being preyed upon by badgers, foxes, buzzards and other raptors, and even the domestic cat. To protect themselves from predators they will initially hiss and coil, but if the attacker persists, grass snakes will roll over, open their mouth wide, go limp and feign death. A different strategy is to exude a foul-smelling liquid from their anal gland and repeatedly strike at their attacker.
Loss of habitat lies behind their dwindling numbers and they are now a protected species.
Grass snakes are usually grey-green to dark olive in colouring although colours can vary. They have a distinctive yellow band around the neck and black bars running down their sides and sometimes on the back. On their underside they have a checkering of black and white scales. They have rounded heads with black lines running from beneath their eyes to their mouths. Their forked tongues are bluish.
We have recent records of grass snakes at several of our nature reserves such as the Lower Moor Farm complex, Blakehill Farm and Ravensroost Meadows. Click here to learn more about reporting sightings of grass snakes and other wildlife.

I'd love to see what your children look like after you try this! In all seriousness, DO NOT put this in your wort! A serious medical complication is NOT worth saving $40.
PolarbeerBulls Run Brewery "And on the 6th day God made Beer"
echo what was said by others. It'll make a great pre-chiller but might leach nastiness into your beer depending on the manufacturing process. If you are going to use it, consider testing the water as was suggested. Cleaning... Aluminum forms a native oxide layer when exposed to air that is stable in the 4-9 pH range. so as long as you stay in that range you have a protective layer that will resist corrosion. Meaning, do not use acidic cleaning solutions (starsan) or you will strip off the native oxide and start eating away at the metal. My understanding is that the Aluminum oxide that forms is not has hard as the Chromium Oxide that forms on stainless. That and the fact that aluminum itself is much softer than stainless lead to increased chance of scratching and pitting which become sites for infection and increased corrosion. If the Al has been anodized then its oxide layer is thicker and more resistant to scratching. I've seen several places say not to use oxadation based cleaning solutions, but I can't find why. If the oxide is well formed then the surface is well resistant to further oxidation assuming pH ranges are kept within and no abrasives are used which would damage the layer. Final concern would be galvanic corrosion. I'm not entirely sure on the average conductance of wort, but I would assume it is somewhat greater than water. Aluminum has a lower reduction potential than stainless and as such will ionize into solution over time corroding the core. This will happen faster anywhere the core touches your kettle (assuming the kettle is stainless, if it's also aluminum then you have no problem). Depending on how fast this happens you may result in some level of metallic off flavors in your beer. Aluminum is generally non-toxic so you don't have much to worry about there.
That's a duck, not a dick" - Samuel L. JacksonArduino E-Brewery build in progress
U.S. made copper tubing. Would this use lead free solder?http://www.ebay.com/itm/12x12-Water-...item35c385f066 I've also been looking at this, I think it might work in a bucket of ice water. This would be very easy to clean.
Blauhung, thanks for the detailed input. I was aware that AL build an oxide layer but not that the Starsan would take it off. Good to know. My brew pot is also AL so that is a possitive. The water test is still probably the best idea to indicate one way or the other. I have contacted the manufacturer to see what solder or other chemicals might be used but no info. yet. Still looking for reasonably priced water analysis. If the price is too high then I may as well just buy the FDA approved chiller. When it comes to the leaching concerns and even the galvonic corrosion, among other factors, they are also time based. Household plumbing has lead solder and contact time is is measured in hours or even days. My test required less than 5 minutes so I would think that would have an impact. Only a water test will prove that out though. It's just my cynicism but the FDA probably made some rat go swimming in [whatever] or exposed it to levels 1,000 times greater than what we would see and said, "look, the rat got sick. We must ban this from human use". Obviously, for comercial use, the FDA must be followed. But for personal use, is it really a problem or just paranoya? If it is not paranoya, then it was just a bad idea. I would just like to know for sure cause this would be slick if it is ok.

I don't want to sound to rude, but using non-fda approved items will give homebrewers a bad reputation. This thread topic will give home brewers a bad reputation. Sorry, but as home brewers, we do have to have to maintain a good rep and posting this idea (using car parts and exposing them to the wort) is not helping us.
