Nice job, thats a fine looking stein I was wondering about how you finished the inside to hold liquid. Thanks for sharing your secret. Food Safe Epoxy is on my shopping list now

Rob, Thank you for the comment. I’m using a product call Brewcoat It is designed to line the inside of beer vats. It is FDA approved for potable water, and is food safe. You can find info about it on the web at http://www.sscoatings.net/brewcoat.htm
I purchased a gallon kit over a year ago and have made many mugs and still have more than half left. But I mix it up 1 tablespoon at a time.
There is one really nice thing about the Brewcoat. It is not a hazardous material so you dont have to pay an arm and leg to ship it.

Oh, that is so very nice. I’ve been thinking about making one, but I just can’t put the beer down long enough to make it to the shop.
Now, if I make mine to hold 60ozs ….

Thank for the kind word BillyJ This one only holds just over 40oz so not quite what you are looking for. Again thanks
