I have literally never had a problem with Amazon. I've had people steal packages off my porch, I've had stuff show up broken, I've had stuff just not work. Amazon always just sends new stuff.

Seems like most of the dislike is coming from the west coast, which makes me think its a distribution issue. I've had a couple I didn't like (the 'lambic', etc), but most of their beer is pretty good. Its not all real adventurous, but its true to style, well made, and tasty. Someone mentioned...

Copper Tubing Sales has 50 ft of 3/8 for $45, and they're usually more expensive than HD and Lowes (in my experience). I have no idea what the exhange rate is now though...

Its a bit pricey (Its only about $45 worth of copper), but it'll work fine if you don't feel like DIY'ing it. EDIT: Just saw your wife got it for you. Give her a kiss and enjoy the chiller.

It'll be fine. Don't worry about it.

Of course my time has a cost. The thing is, the cost of brewing beer isn't any different than the cost of sitting on my ass, fishing out on the dock or reading a book. I'm not going to work any more hours than I already do (about 50 a week), so the fact that I could is irrelevant to the...

No, its not. Generally I do other leisure activities while I brew. 6 House on a saturday while I'm also mowing the lawn, reading a book, and fishing off the dock out back most certainly have no monetary value.

His insurance company has no right to control his data.

No, Copper isn't expensive. Its less than $30 at home depot for 50ft of 1/4" copper.

I like most of these. Not dogfish's 90 though. I love them as a company, but the 90 minute tastes like syrup to me. Its sweet and hot and just not good. Fresh Bell's Two Hearted is my favority.
