Cool. I've been toying with the idea of brewing some beer at home
recently. I like the IPA's, Porters, and Stouts, and like trying
different kinds.

Got any tips for someone just getting into the hobby?

Get 'cher some copper tubing for evaporation, cook up a little corn
mash with raisons for flavor, and....

Oh wait, you said beer, not white lightining.

Sorry...

Back in the day when I still...um...er...partook of the spirit if you
will, I ran into an old Master Sergeant who made his own "gun
cleaner".

Yep - whoo hoo - that was some mighty powerful gun cleaner I'll tell
you what.

Little bit for the gun, little bit for the cleaner, little bit more
for the gun, little bit more for the cleaner... The cleaner's insides
were as clean as the gun's insides if you get my drift.

Hey, speaking of gun cleaner, do you have any direct experience with
the folks at Jake's Landing?
