Jimbo 0 #27 November 28, 2002 How did you guess? I've only got a few batches under my belt, so I'm far from on expert on the subject, but yes I do. As a matter of fact there's a batch in the closet right now. I'm probably going to try a spiced seasonal ale this weekend since it's too cold for jumping. There are a few others here who home brew as well. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #28 November 28, 2002 Glad to hear there's someone else here who knows about beer....There are a lot of swill-drinkers at my old DZ. I'm a brewer too. Tomorrow I'll be getting together with the family for Thanksgiving & I'll be bringing homebrew: Four Irish Stouts, Four India Pale Ales, and four blonde ales! I also have a lightly-spiced Christmas Ale, but that's not ready to drink yet. I just bottled it on Sunday and I figure it needs about 3 weeks to mature. Should be great right around Christmas time!

Nick 0 #29 November 28, 2002 Spent about £140 in London about 8 years ago, got a bit silly when I bought a bottle of rum of the optics. Felt like a dog the next day. Nick Gravity- It's not just a good idea, it's the LAW! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weid14 0 #30 November 28, 2002 That's cool, guy how used to teach skiing with me made some excellent home brews, he had some of those soda (pop for those in the west) canisters (like they use at the fountains) he filled, then had a CO2 tank. after a day of skiing, we'd have it in the snow, with the hose running in through the window. You never had to move from your chair, it was excellent! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 3 #31 November 28, 2002 I spent about $250 on "shots for my friends" on a regular Tuesday afternoon/evening a few years ago. It was not uncommon for me to run up several-hundred dollar bar tabs four days a week back when I was running the streets hard. Thank god I lived through those days without getting a DUI or killing myself. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

outofit 0 #34 November 28, 2002 well there is a story seeings how u asked. the first night i got to vegas i got up on them for about 300 at the blackjack table and the adrenaline was flowing quite well. i go to the room about 4 in the morning and tell my buddy who is asleep about my winnings and needless to say i was drinking a little and didn't have the good judgement to go to bed. instead i decided to go back down to the casino for one more beer and guess what happened to that 300 in my pocket? u guessed it they got it back. so, that one beer along with poor judgement cost me 300! It is better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbo 0 #35 November 29, 2002 Quotedo not wait to drink this beer Well, I couldn't wait to try at least one bottle! For whatever it's worth, this stuff packs a hell of punch, it may be the most complex beer I've ever had but it definitely needs to age some more. I'm thinking 6 months at the minimum, after another year or two it will probably be perfect. I thought this was interesting, 666 calories per 12oz bottle. Yikes! Mmmm..........Beer. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SpeedRacer 1 #47 May 8, 2003 I'll be spending a shitload on beer in a month or so. After I land a job I will be buying the equipment to do all-grain brewing (as opposed to using store-bought malt extract). I gotta buy a 30 qt pot, Propane burner, mash/lauter tun, and a grain mill. That'll all be a few hundred, but after that it will cost me only about 25 to 35 cents per beer. And I'll be more likely to win awards in homebrew contests! (all-grain beer often tastes even better than extract beers). So after I win my first award for beer, what would I owe? A skydive?
