Howdy guys, tis been a while. I took a break from homebrewing while finishing up school and moving about from Oregon to Germany, Germany to Oregon, Oregon to Washington, Washington to Oregon, and now settling somewhat here in New Mexico for now. It's time to get the hands back into the grain...

I can't say enough positive things about Bamberg...only drawback is the whole "This is FranKen!" attitude.....darn Franks.

I spent a few weekends in Cologne and can say it's a cool town, but hell I wouldn't trade it for Munich anyday. From my experience, southern Germany is less populated and more culturally flavorful. Not saying the rest of Germany is bland, but you will probably get more bang for your buck, or...

Naja, wie lange hast du deutsch studiert und warum? Ich hab' dreimal in deutschland gewohnt und jetzt vermisse ich der vaterland jeden tag.

Hey, you don't live in Corvallis do you because that'd be me!

No we got a steal of a deal. My father had some dealings with some distributors and pretty much gave it to us as a side gift. It had three pieces and the fire holder thing.

I've got a Le Creuset set, i think we got it under $150. The best thing you can make while camping in cobbler. We set it on a bed of coals, add a box of white cake mix, mix with a bottle of 7up and two bags of berries, let sit with the coals for an hour or so.... ...damn, now i am going to have...

I've been reading through this and i don't think i've seen this gem yet:

I found it mediocre funny. The shock of seeing Tina Fey look so much and sound so much like Palin has lost it's humor for me already. By the way, 30Rock is absolutely brilliant. I don't understand how the same cast and writers turn out horse crap on SNL but such an amazing sitcom. Beyond me.

I'm just laughing at the turn this thread has taken. I've been to both state's being compared, and not just a for a day or two and I think every place on earth has it's crap and it's gems. Stop the pissing contest. As for the fires, on my flight back (whoo back in the states!) I landed in...

Painted hills FTW!!!! And yeah, i haven't brewed anything in 4 months..... ...damn Germany....!

Pshhhh...... you losers. I'm gonna use my bow--make things a little more exciting and takes some more skill ;)

Trying to get myself banned here: But while on the topics of hypocrisy...why is it that you Ed can post these politically attacking/flaming style threads and everyone else gets warned or locked up after a page or two? I think this is the third or fourth thread in the last month or two that fits...

Actually, this was a trick they try playing on foreigners sometimes, especially at universities in the southern half of the country. It usually works... ...When they tried it on me i just held it sideways the whole time and had no issue...you know, becuase there's no rule you MUST drink it...

Oldie but goodie. Topgear has to be the best car show to even grace this earth.

Oh yeah, one more thing. If you ever get a chance to check out the Altstadt of Düsseldorf, I highly recommend it. It must have the highest concentration of bars I've ever seen and when you walk in, you instantly get served a beer, and they keep coming until you put a coaster on top of your mug...

I didn't get it either, from what i have read i assumed all were 4,8 or so, atleast according to every major beer outlet i've ever read, but the more people i talked to here kept ranting on about how it's a ***** beer. Sure enough i went there and you can order a strong kolsch, the 4% and then...

Hmm let's see, was just in Koln two days ago and checked the bottles...didn't see a single one above 3% Edit: that's a lie, i think one was 3,4%

I rag on Kolsch not so much of beer, but the culture that comes with it. The bragging that the people do in Koln over the beer is obnoxious for a beer that is 2.4% and taste like a watered down pils. One guy bragged to me he could drink 10 liters in a night...and duh...so could I, but with...
