Ever been to a magician? You gotta learn the skill of misdirection!

"A brand new kegging system would have cost me over $500 but I got this deal on craigslist for only $200! I saved hundreds!"

I saved hundreds on my kegging system by switching to Craigslist!

I want to plan a vacation that takes us to a place with a hell of a gun range where he can rent and play with guns.

Well, that only leaves you about 45 states... Here in Ga have a city where the law says that every homeowner MUST own a gun. You heard me right, it's illegal NOT to own a gun.

I want to plan a vacation that takes us to a place with a hell of a I've offered to get him flying lessons. I've played his favorite naughty games. I cook whatever he wants. I work overtime to do these things for him. I bought him a stainless steel BBQ and built him a brick patio (16x24) to Q on. I bought him a big screen LCD HD TV. I must be doing something wrong

This needs more detail that I can get from posts. I recommend you pack immediately and come to my house.

gee, I'd love to, but I have so little free time with all the overtime I'm acquiring! My job as a nurse has me working a rotation of 4x12 hour shifts, then off for 5 days. Lots of time for OT (lots of OT to be had!), and He Who Must Obey will have to make due without me around all the time. Besides, the OT will pay for the kegerator! Mind you, I could just be evil and demand it for my Xmas present...Costco has one for sale:keg cooler

building one would definitely be cheaper

Holy Schmoly those things have gone up in price! I looked at one just a few years ago at a local mom-and-pop place and it was around 500 bones! Now it's up to eight just a few years later! Whew!

Run away... I looked at one two weeks ago. It's for deep pocketed BMC drinkers. THe unit is configured for a single half barrel keg and NOTHING else. You'd have to make some big mods to accommodate cornies. IMHO, you'd save money and time if you just started with a Sanyo and added a bottle & tower.

For the ultimate gun experience go here when they have a "shoot" http://machinegunshoot.com/shootinfo.htm

Bring your wallet, but you can shoot about anything from a flame thrower to a G.E minigun. Search for "Knob Creek". Let him fire off a hundred rounds from a full auto .50 Cal and spray down a car with a flame thrower. If he still can't find his Man Card after that, there is no hope.

Don't wast your time trying to make BMC for him. You will just end up with 5 gallons of beer you both don't like. He may come around eventually. Just keep reminding him that you drink REAL beer, not water.

And if you ever leave him PLEASE let us know.

I understand not trying to BMC but you can get pretty close by making a Blonde or Summer Bitter. These are two beers that my Bud-drinking wife really likes. If you try them side by side, there's no similarity except for color. Once they acclimate to all malt flavor, they won't want to go back. You can then step em up to APA's and ESBs. In six months, IPA.

Great info, everyone, but the arguement isn't working. Firstly, he thinks homebrewing is stupid and a waste of time. He is a BMC man, and won't drink anything else. He occasionally tastes the beer I make, but usually has nothing good to say about it...always too dark, to malty, too hoppy and too filling. He swills back the wine and mead, though. I'll try brewing something that is half corn and rice, we'll see how he likes that!

Tell him he's a weenie!

Hey,

Hello from Vancouver! It is a shame that your hubbie spurns good beer. Here in B.C. we have a very healthy craft brew industry. I am always shocked to discover people who have not been exposed to or have not 'chosen' good beer.

I have travelled a great deal in B.C. though and have been many places where Lucky Lager, Old Stock, Canadian, Kokanee, etc. is the only 'acceptable' choice.

Good luck with your pursuit...

Ken

He thinks all my hobbies are stupid. I belong to a medieval recreation group (where I started brewing). He thinks its stupid (no guns). We have feasts where much brewed liquid is quaffed, but he thinks its stupid (he would have to dress up). Le Sigh....

You know... I was reading through this thread, knowing you were a member of our weird little group, and thinking "doesn't like good beer? How does he get along in the medieval group?" Then I caught the above statement, and realized... he doesn't!

I have to ask, did you ever build the keg system? Do we need to send some burly, well armoured guys up there to build one?

You've got Wolf Pack guys up there don't you??
