"In several generations, all of my writings about beer produced in the home (HOMEBREW) shall also apply to a set of conventions which issue forth instructions on a small communication device to be held in the palm of one's hand. All of my quotations on WINE will apply to a set of conventions and instruction which will ensure the matrimony of two libraries. These are not conventional libraries to which we are accustomed... but we have no time for that now. If you remember nothing, place all of your fortunes on the colonial NAVY in the America's cup." Bejadamus Franklinus.
 
"There are three things that a man must accomplish before he dies. Brew his own beer, teach someone to brew his own beer, and then go to France to piss on them." - Ben Franklin

"Could someone loan me a $100 to cover my bar tab?" - Benjamin Franklin
 
Give a man a brew, and he'll drink for a day. Teach a man to brew and he'll spend his life savings on brewing equipment and supplies.

Regardless of what you think, plasma cutters, shiny stainless and other fancy trinkets will not make up for your lack of that appendage which makes a man-- Ben Franklin :D
 
"I do not despise the French. In fact, I had my friend Samuel make a cherry wheat to quench their thirst for the kindness they have paid this country of ours." -- Ben Franklin
 
"At 4 weeks of aging the wit reigns, at 20 the stout, at 40 the barleywine." Poor Richard.
 
"Women and wine, game and deceit, make the wealth small and the wants great." Ben Franklin

I can't help it, this one is real but too good to change.
 
"Early to Bed, Early to rise, makes a man.........WTF am I saying? F*ck That Sh!t & Gimme a Beer" -Bennjie F
