That is one of the funniest and sad stories I have read in awhile. A few tips, one– don’t over sparge. Squeezing it out and all releases tannins, your beer will taste more like ammonia (see the post about LoneStar?) And you MUST get a good rolling boil. Cover the pot if the fire isn’t hot, but keep an eye on it. Wort makes an awful mess. Cheers, have a GOOD homebrew..

A lesson for all to follow here. Get the urge to become a work from home master brewer cuz someone (hopefully not you) got you the kit? Just grab 3 bottles of the Asti, push the ADVIL aside for the discount tin of IBUPROFEN 250 CAPLETS (take 4), and drink that shit down until it becomes Dom. Then dispose of the kit.

Simple.

Prancing around in the womens’ robes for the pizza dick only to be attempted by married men. With the wife in plain view.

Do not strike fear in the hearts of pizza dicks. They have caller ID & will stop answering their phone if there exists the slightest threat of having their holes torn by wild-eyed drunks in frilly pink robes.

champagne in a can is just alot easier to take with you on the boat when you are out fishing.

Eyes prefers his champagne in a chilled can, but admits if you’re all about putting on airs and the like, a jelly jar is the appropriate vessel.

A hooch/pooch post.

My dorm RA (who should have been in jail) was an Austin resident and inveterate home-brewer. This was out East. He and his friends would brew batches out of anything available–sometimes containing large quantities of THC. It was the dawn of the micro-brewery craze, and he generously took all of us on pub crawls deep into the night.

Good looking Dane, by the way–gives CA’s creature a run for its money. Keep it away from swimming pools, though.

You should have just bottled your great dane’s piss and made Lone Star.
