All: I got my CO2 bottle filled, and bought a 7 cf freezer from Home Depot, today. I've not yet transferred the beer, as I was busy replacing the faucet in the master bath (with multiple trips to the hardware store for parts). And now it's time for tonight's Major League Soccer slate. So...

Johow - there's an innovative approach I've never heard of. 55x11 - I literally have everything but the freezer. Keg(s), CO2 bottle, regulator, lines, elcheapo tap, growlers. So, ice is cheap, should I have to go that route. But, it turns out, there really are some good deals on chest freezers...

Interesting. Their website (I had checked earlier) only shows a dinky 3.2 cf front-opening freezer. It's such a haul to actually get to either of the nearest Costcos that we rarely go on exploratory missions...

So, I think I have a (new) plan (BTW, y'all are way more active tonight than I was expecting). 1) Check gravity. Keg if ready. 2) Have SWMBO start hunting for scratch-and-dent deals. If we get lucky, jump on something immediately and build a quick collar this weekend. (My existing tap is one...

So... what options might I have? (Please don't say "bottle" please don't say "bottle" please don't say "bottle"...) I should mention, SWMBO actually wants me to buy a new freezer, or a scratch-and-dent still under warranty, while I'd rather spend less. More money to direct to other projects...

I've got a beer that should be ready to keg tomorrow (I will of course check gravity first - it's my first all-grain), and *hate* bottling, so I want to use the keg system I bought a few years ago before I took a hiatus from brewing. But I have no way to chill a full keg. SWMBO and I are...

Down on East 5th? Do they charge? How long is the tutorial?

Higuain.

That's some epic trolling right there.

It was! :ban: :tank: :rockin: He's a tremendous box-to-box midfielder who, for some unfathomable reason, is completely underrated by US fans. We've tended to play him a little deeper, probably because of the rest of the personnel, but I cannot believe how much stick he's gotten because of who...

Good fun watching the Crew beat the F*re, followed by an *AWESOME* Flogging Molly concert.

I love Seattle (the city), but I was less than impressed with the behavior of the team and the fans during last night's match. Alonso should have seen a straight red for that tackle (how the official, standing right there looking at it, missed a two-footed studs-up tackle I'll never know), and...

I almost feel sorry for them. Almost. So... I wouldn't take too much from this game. Columbus have been awful so far this year, and only have 20 healthy players right now. Our starting center backs are the third unit, and up top we were running a rookie alongside Renteria, who we are...

You can get the Al Jazzera news station on Roku. It's actually pretty good. Good (English language) coverage of middle eastern news.

I just saw some video on Reddit of the Seattle - Toronto match, and there is some really pretty football from the Sounders. Three really class goals by a Seattle striker.
