Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I've been lurking in here for a little over a week and it looks like this is great forum :) Just bottled my first batch, and brewed my second yesterday. This waiting thing sux ;)
 
Hi Jeff.

Yeah, the waiting isn't much fun at first. But soon, you'll have some tastey homebrew to help you wait for that next batch to mature....
 
Try to take a 12 pack or 6 and put it in the closet for another 6 months.........

I try to do this with my all my batches, then one day when you make beer in the winter break them out and drink them, they will be soooooo much better!
 
Hey welcome to the board.

My solution is just to brew obscene amounts of beer :D We have 3 on tap at the moment, and probably about 50 gallons fermenting or stored in kegs. Makes the waiting easier ;)

That sound like a good solution :D

I crack up everytime I read your sig. I hear their making a movie based on the book, wonder how bad they will screw it up.
 
I heard that too. I actually met a girl on a dive boat in Hawaii who does trailers for movies. She had seen some of the footage of it and said it looked OK.

It should be a Tim Burton flick or someone else who won't screw it up. Tim Burton's doing the new Willy Wonka movie with Johnny Depp as Wonka. Could be pretty cool.

Ok, can you say threadjacked ;)

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Janx Spirit is the liquor used to make a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster. It is said to reduce psychic abilities. In case you're interested:

"The best drink in existence is the Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster. The effect of drinking one of these is rather like having your brains smashed out with a slice of lemon, wrapped around a large gold brick. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy will tell you on which planets the best ones are brewed, how much you can expect to pay for one, and which voluntary organizations exist to help you recover afterwards.

"Fortunately, the Guide also tells you how you can make one yourself." (And, of course, it's gin-based.)

Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster

1 bottle Ol' Janx Spirit.
1 measure Santraginean seawater.
3 cubes frozen Arcturan MegaGin.
4 liters Fallian marsh gas.
1 measure Qualactin Hypermint Extract.
1 Algolian Suntiger tooth.
Zamphour to taste.
Olive garnish.

Take the juice from one bottle of the Ol' Janx Spirit (see page 15 of the actual Guide).

Pour into it one measure of water from the seas of Santraginus V -- Oh, that Santraginean seawater, it says. Oh, those Santraginean fish!

Allow three cubes of Arcturan MegaGin to melt into the mixture (it must be properly iced or the benzene is lost).

Allow four liters of Fallian marsh gas to bubble thrugh it, in memory of all those happy hikers who have died of pleasure in the marshes of Fallia.

Over the back of a silver spoon float a measure of Qualactin Hypermint Extract, redolent of all the heady odors of the dark Qualactin Zones, subtle, sweet and mystic.

Drop in the tooth of an Algolan Suntiger. Watch it dissolve, spreading the fires of the Algolan suns deep into the heart of the drink.

Sprinkle Zamphour.

Add an olive.

Drink... but... very... carefully.

:D

Can't find the Vanguard anywhere! Gonna have to be Columbus or something I guess...

And definitely read the Guide. It's wildly funny.
