Or you could just buy the stuff right from Southern Tier and support a microbrew ;)

I consider beer or any beer related product perfume. But I have a REALLY sensitive room mate when it comes to odors. Will a fermenting bucket put off an a strong enough scent to make her piss and moan? Or do I need to find a new venue to keep my stuff?

Call me crazy, but if you're worried about caloric intake -- I'm surprised you're interested in home brewing. Kind of like when you see mechanics with those black work gloves on... It's like, c'man man -- comes with the territory. Moreover, it's an excellent excuse to keep yourself on a solid...

I went on Amazon today to buy Jackson's bible -- but I noticed there's a second edition. Anyone read both? Should I get both, just the original -- or will just the 2nd edition cover both bases?

I had this beer for the first time the other night and it instantly skyrocketed to the top of my list. I'm a bigtime IPA guy and want my IPA's to taste like someone rung out hops into a glass. Not only does it have that taste, but it's done well. It finishes clean and if someone told me it was a...

After months of hemming and hawing and being afraid to spend the money, I'm jumping in. I've been searching for the perfect kit that isn't too insane, but will offer nice expandability -- all for the right price. I don't know about you guys but the Midwest is a home run, personally. Agreed...

Hey all, Been searching for a few days (here and google in general) and I just can't find exactly what I'm looking for. I'm about to pull the trigger on the necessary equipment to start my own home brewing empire. I live in New Hampshire, and my home isn't consistently in the proper ranger...

You know what it's good for? Those intermediate times. For instance, poker nights. You don't wanna be the only ****** with a room temperature pint glass. Moreover, it's not the type of environment where you can truly savor your beverage. But at the same time, you don't want to drink anything out...

Everyone saying "Oh my God, I won't even try it" -- isn't that completely against what we're all claiming to be here for? Aren't we all open minded, beer enthusiasts... not snobs? I've tried it. Quite honestly -- it ain't bad. To each his own, obviously. But again... to not TRY it, is so...
