Yes, I'd like to take the rest of the day off and drive up toward memphis and meet the fedex driver in the middle somewhere.....
awesome. I'm still in the kitchen on the stove top, but eventually do plan to get a propane set up for outside.
Legality of homebrewing- yep, its illegal in AL, but the law isnt enforced if you keep your head down. There is a bill going through the state Senate, SB 153, to legalize homebrewing. I encourage you and every Alabama homebrewer to contact your state Senator and urge him or her to support the bill. To find your state Senator- http://www.legislature.state.al.us/misc/zipsearch.html

A couple of friends tried homebrew for the first time this past weekend, and said it was good, then asked if it was illegal. I told them that of course it was not illegal... or I wouldn't be doing it. I was being serious.
I was surfing the web for homebrew contests in AL a few minutes ago and that is when I learned that it is illegal in only three states and this is one of them.
I hope my friends don't get curious and google the homebrew laws...they may not want me around them anymore. But, I would have more beer if that happened..
This is very true jay. Also though..notice how the bill we are trying to get passed is worded. There is a section that speaks of these dry cities/counties and does say that the proposed bill is not to allow homebrewing in cities/counties that are dry. If ya don't wanna drink don't drink, but if I do wanna drink and make some beer, don't stop me from it just cause you don't like it.
I was at the B'ham Magistrates office the other day. On the wall were all the non traffic citations and fines. One of the offenses at the top of my list was riding a bicycle with no hands.
That is crazy! (the law, that is) I once got a ticket for riding my motorcycle through town in my barefeet. Looking back, that was stupid of me. Could have lost my toes if I had laid it down.
I am afraid that with all of the attention that the bingo stores have been getting lately, they are going to reject the homebrew bill, too. I hope I am wrong.
