Heads up- right now Wal-Mart has their own turkey fryer kits on sale. At only $45 I had to try it out. My first impressions: Stand/burner is a knock-off of the Bayou Classic, and surprisingly sturdy. The burner itself is a low quality cast iron piece. I haven't found a BTU rating but...

It really depends on how wide your wide pot is- when I used the keggle on the stove it was fine but I definitely lost some heat around the sides. As long as most of the flame is getting under the pot, more heat input should result in quicker boils.

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

Mixing the two before bottling would effectively nullify any variances between bottles, should have no problems.

Nugget Nectar is my absolute favorite beer. However, I will be waiting to attempt a clone until I have a few more brews under my belt.

Drink a Rolling Rock...now THAT is cloying. Anyway, I'm an Extra Stout drinker. I agree that regular draught is too bland, and enjoy the bitter coffee notes of the Extra Stout. One thing I have always wondered about was the ABV of extra stout, as many sources seem to differ on this...

One of my favorite wines of all time is Vega Tolusa (o?) Spanish Cabernet, its 100% cab (no merlot blended in it) yet is off-dry, and has a huge offering of dark fruits. For $8/bottle it has no contenders in my book.

If Amstel's other offerings are anything like the State-side Amstel Light, I would pass. AL was the first beer that I didn't like, and is still very lonely on that list. I'd take a PBR over one any day of the week.

Just drink a few and see how wrecked you get

Delivery is especially helpful if it's no longer wise to drive:drunk:

I'm not sure why you want a high alcohol beer for pong. When I play 1 on 1/6 cup, I like to play with 1 1/2 beers per side, with more in the back cups to prevent spillage. This way we can play more games over a longer period without getting totally hammered. The games are short with 6 cup, and...

This probably validates your skill more so than "something fancy" like an Imperial stout. Stouts have tons of roasted flavors that can cover up off flavors, just like a hoppy IPA could.

On a related note, if you put skittles in a handle of bathtub vodka, it still tastes like ****ing paint thinner. Ask me how I know.
