Thanks Teacup!

Great link. If this was on last night, it's probably on my DVR, but I watched the google video version, just in case.:rockin:

Just watched it on Google video I agree with all of you that he probably doesn't homebrew on a regular basis like most of us, but he did know the basics and even though he did many things different from probably 99 or 100% of this forum ie no grain bag for steeping and the grains stayed in for the whole boil, and some of the terminology was wrong I bet the beer was still decent. Also it probably got many into the hobby b/c watching it you realize it isn't as hard as it seems.

Thanks for all the feedback!! I have yet to decide if I will go immursion chiller yet or not. By the way...while we are on that subject...For a college student with !very! little money!, but wanting to go all-grain, how should i chill iva ice bath? Should I build my own unit? And if so....immursion or other suggestions?
