[COHO] Blichmann beer gun

[brett thomas]

Gary - just keep in mind that those carbonation drops only carbonate a beer 
if you keep them around 70 degrees F. for about 3-4 weeks.  The blichmann 
beer gun will be available at this weekends group brew, as well as an 
educational/bottling session at the Brew Shop on the morning of the 12th.
