Nice work. Do you guys have letters on that house or is it just you guys? Way to do Aggieland proud. Gig 'Em Class of 2008

How important is it to have 20% down payment? Anyone get by on a smaller percentage down without the PMI getting too expensive? Is 5% or 10% a deal breaker?

Opening Ceremony drinking game: Drink every time you thought America invented it.

I thought I wanted to go to law school but after seeing what they make you go through I would have either quit or failed out. There is always beer to make everything feel better.

So true. There are more lawyers in the state of Texas than on the entire continent of Europe. My wife is about to finish her final year in this overly litigious state. Are you still a student?

Holy krausen! How did you do that?

First time to make a starter and I guess it worked pretty well. Wyeast 1010 going strong after 8 hours. I put a blowoff tube on it now but I am guessing I will have to clean it up again when I get home from work. Hope this doesn't ruin the batch.

Alright, fun is over. I didn't really do it. It was a really fun weekend but a bad sunburn is the only harm I caused myself. You guys are way more fun than Facebook though. Thanks for the laughs. P.S. an engineering grad from Texas A&M could totally rig that in less than an hour so back off...

5 beers down and feeling a little light headed. I don't think these two gases are interchangeable.

Awesome price. Anyone have any good ideas for dividing a bulk bag like this into smaller units to save? Without having to buy a heat sealer.

I bought some brand new EZ Top bottles to use for my first two batches and had the same problem both times. Some would be carbonated and some would be flat. The regular capped bottles that I also used had no problems so I know it was not the batches. I will never use these again to bottle my...

I just joined the Cap and Hare homebrew club this week. I haven't been to any events yet but it looks like most of them are in Fort Worth (monthly meetings at the Coors distribution center on I-35). www.capandhare.com

Fort Worth represent! I just started in January and now I am hooked. I don't know anyone else in the city that brews so that is cool.
