Headaches, heartburn, slurring of speech, double vision, halitosis, loss of

Damn, and I always thought it was the ice that caused that problem.

John, next time I go to the army surplus store, I'll see if they have
a few cans for you. "ate codes? we don't need no stinkin' date
codes!" you still got a good p-38?

I made a Colby cheese once, from a kit.
Took about 2 gallons of milk to make a pound.
It was actually pretty good, but a bit rubbery.

you don't get the bacteria in the cheese just right, and use the right

IMO, the best tasting American beer that came out of the microbrewery crowd
is Samuel Adams Lager. *Very similar to some of the good, German,
full-bodied beers. *Even the "light" version isn't bad, although it has more
calories than most other "regular" beers.

Second best American beer, although not originating from a microbrewery, is
"Amberboch", *an Anheuser-Busch product. *Not available everywhere, the
draft version is much better than the bottled.

Unfortunately, I finally hit the age where I can't drink either anymore.
Too heavy. *An occasional Coors Light is about all I can handle now.

I have a neat little Austrailian Ale that I brew, it is everyones
favorite even my American Lager friends love it. Very light, but with
taste and body, it is by Coopers. My sil and kid love Sam Adams so we
got them a bottle of Sam Adams Utopia for a wedding present, very
interesting, we have not opended it yet. It is an uncarbonated special
limited brew that comes in a ceramic and bronze bottle with a hologram
label.. They like stuff like that. I really don't drink more than a 6
or two a year, but I might 15 or more gallons of beer, I give it away,
and use it for gifts and stuff. My neighbors usually get most of it;)
I just like to brew, it is kinda' like smoking meat..- Hide quoted text -

When ya going to start all grain brewing?? It's a big step up in
quality, just compare extract/all grain to store bought/homebrew.

WHoa.......... Harry stooping so low as to eat a grilled cheese
sandwich? Harry who is so sophisticated that he won't eat any seafood
except fresh, won't drink a cold beer with friends, won't own any boat
except a Parker, has the best computer in the world, the best printer,
is the only person who can run Vista with no problems, knows
everything there is to know about beer, about politics, about boats,
about building boats, about structural engineering, about trucks?

It's fantastic, you'd love it. Start with extract, they basically boil
the grains for you and then can it after removing much of the water.
Here's a good place to get kits that include everything except the
bottles, including the caps. You can get a basic brewing kit like
this:
http://www.williamsbrewing.com/HOME_...T_P680C156.cfm

then look for an ingredient kit.
Cheese making sounds alot like homebrewing, so you'll be golden. Same
rules as far as sanitation.

Oh, and if you have a local hombrew supply place, please consider
getting your equipment and extract kits from them. They are
independents, need the business, and besides that, homebrewers love to
share their knowledge to people who aren't so arrogant so as to not
listen. You'll learn alot at your local shop if you have one.
