I'm having a hard time finding these:
1 1 to 1/2" reducer (the type that fits into a 1" tube) for the brew head
1 1 to 1/2" reducer (the type that fits over the 1" tube) for the boiler

I found one type, but not sure which one because I don't actually have any 1" copper pipe to test :-/

when you go to the hardware store just dry fit it into a piece of 1" copper pipe on the rack.

What's a "Number 10" syringe? I can't seem to find one on the internet...

or maybe I'm just bad at searching.
