All my beer, like all my food, I market as "Contains at least 1 cat" No matter how hard I try I always end up with some cat hair in the damn fermenter. Oh well I'm just happy they don't drink it.

I have 4 cats and a Dog also. The cats are totally uninterested, and the Dog won't touch the stuff. I put some brew in the dog bowl and she didn't even lick it once before running away from it.

So I recently moved and am still looking for a really nice Homebrew store close to home. Most of what I've found are the "Organic Garden" stores with a carboy and some malts on a shelf. Long story short they didn't have any Hallertauer so I did the A) Next best thing B) wtf did I do? C) All of...

I'm lucky. My wife can't and won't cook so the stove top is mine to do with as I please. Needles to say it gets sticky with beer every few weeks =)

Oh wow, 1 gallon and 5 gallon bags available all over the place, what a novel approach.

My mop thanks you from the bottom of its beer stained heart. But now it hates me because it doesn't get any beer.

Now here is the question thats bugging me. Can you make an oatmeal coffee beer and half all 3 for breakfast?

I like the idea but you are lacking the most important thing, Scantily Clad serving women.

Thats one of the things we have really lost since the 80s. Lots of gratuitous nudity.... ahhh the old days....

Hey HBT! Edit: meant this to be in General Beer Discussion. I must a got lost somewhere along the way. I'm going to be bottling a batch here in a bit. I'm going to be using DME for the first time and am curious if that will affect the taste at all? It's a plain light DME? Can't remember the...

The "definition" is to make a mess, or to make messy. But in truth I prefer thinking of you as a Multifuntion Self Protection System. Will you ride shotgun with me?
