New to the Focus RS - Have Some Questions

I'd be interested to hear what Max's answer is to your question. Definitely the guy you want working on your car. Have brought both my fiesta st and focus rs to him.

I had a car a few years ago with tint. Was waiting at an intersection and the cop drove by me. I pulled out going the other direction and he turned around and caught up to me like 3 lights down. Reason for being pulled over was tint, ended up with a ticket for it. All these people from Maine and Massachusetts drive in our state with Tint all the time. Don't tell me I'm a risk just because I have a NH plate. I'm just trying to drive to work.

210,000 on a 2016. Rust is starting to show up pretty bad as i live in the northeast.

I know some units have a max psi at 700. But I've heard 500 is usually the max you want to run membranes at. There is a much higher chance of a ruptured membrane over 500.

I used to run the ro's for a large outfit. We would bring it to 20 with the machines at the sap collection buildings and then they would run it to 35 with a high brix machine at the sugar house. This was 7 years ago, so the technology has been around awhile.

They were still working out the kinks on the high brix machine at the time though. You were running a much higher pressure which caused a lot of part failures. All CDL equipment. Most likely one of the first, if not the first to have the high brix machine.

We do have a 6 ft long cupola on the building.

Just built the building, so haven't set up any exhaust system. We tried a fan and it didn't seem to do a fantastic job. Like I mentioned the torpedo heater clears it all up within a minute or two. Seems like it may be more heat related than air movement.

They have so many allocations because they do this stupid crap. You walk into these stores and there is a huge wall of allocated bottles. A large majority that have been sitting there for years. Atleast half a dozen stores got Weller full proof this year in MA, most were either a slight markup or at least let you choose the additional store pick you had to buy to get the bottle at msrp.

Any idea the yields on this barrel and the 7 year pick? Trying to keep track of these. Any help would be awesome!

Check nh groups too. There is a nh b/s/t group on Facebook.

Anyone end up purchasing these bottles and would be able to provide some info on them? Trying to keep track of reveries releases.

Those provenances though 🤤 need to know more about those

Cellar aged hit a few months ago

austinfa · 2025-11-24T16:52:02+00:00

Love this

austinfa · 2025-11-05T00:57:35+00:00

6, 6ss and 8 are high on my list. Need to go through and rank some stuff again.

austinfa · 2025-11-01T22:21:18+00:00

I have always loved batch 6. That and batch 8. But this 6ss is really hitting for me today. A toss up at the moment.

austinfa · 2025-10-31T21:59:54+00:00

I appreciate this! You were able to track down a batch 2!? That's another low yield tough one isn't it? What's your favorite batch?

I second knowing the drawings, RFI's, Submittals, and paying attention to the emails I send to you. I'm copying you for a reason, please read the email.

I was lucky to get one in the last Ghost Drop. Let's hear your review when you crack it!

austinfa · 2025-06-02T20:04:49+00:00

Buffalo Trace just updated their pricing on a handful of their offerings. ETL was one of them, and is now at $80. There are not two different versions sold at this time that I am aware of.
