To be honest, looking at that list I am surprised I'm still married.

Yet another 10gal cooler for our 1 bedroom apartment...

$200 + worth of beer in the last 2 weeks for "research"

500 bucks plus on a kegerator, all grain set up costing a crap load... Bunch more. I'm a newly we'd though so that helps.

This just made me think of how much more beer I have bought since I started brewing to establish a pallet. I guess thats why pro brewers are so will to help out home brewers.

LOL. I spent about $800 last weekend. Of course the wife was a party/culprit to that. And the horrible dollar to euro doesn't help out.

You'll impress me when you say "1 bedroom apartment WITH a baby". God I remember those days. 2 fermenters, 1 closet, lots of arguments. Glad I got a house. Whenever I think this place is small, I think of THAT place.

Dude, get snipped!

Its better then smoking crack
