I'm from the Southeast, was in Queens for 4 years and I really missed having central air. We mss being able to have virtually any food known to man delivered, but we can take our golf cart all over town where we are. It's also great to be out of a 1 bedroom apartment with loud neighbors...

Westmalle or Koningshoeven glass for most Belgian styles, a liter mug, half liter stein or Berliner Kindl pilsner glass for German beers, or a plain jane 16 oz glass for just about everything else.

Congrats. You probably got a much better bargain than I did by renting for a year. I was in a rush to catch the tax credit last year, and had to fly down from New York and find a house in a weekend.

I use Brewzor on my android phone (droid x), it's pretty handy, and free. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.brewzor.pro.beta

Northern brewer's Chinook IPA recipe, while making AHS's devil's brew. Two of my favorites.

Fermented grapes are way classier than fermented grain... :rolleyes:
