I like "Red Speckled Hen" beer from London. And of course Heineken from my homeland of Holland

I brew my own beer as well so I don't buy much anymore. I make about 65 bottles woth of beer every 8 weeks or so. I make it as strong as I want, and costs only $15 for a beer kit to produce the 65 bottles. Yah...

Nice! I was thinking of brewing my own, but I want to make it nice, not just cheap, any recomendations? Like can you buy any barrel fermentation, like how the monks brew beer form barrels that are already infested with yeast?

And thats funny, I was thinking of moving my tiny little painting business (which is basically jsut me and my amazing skills) to holland, what type of finishes are common there?
I mean I know paper, I can do all sorts of faux shit (which is tacky to the extreme, but if people pay meh) stucco, plaster etc. And of course wood ifnishing.
But painting, and hand painting is my true specialty, what type of common shit they have in houses there, and is there any new construction, or is it all custom spec?
I want to milk the wohle tall, blue eyed canadian thing for all its worth, and have a good time with those wonderful people. (yesh me knows my history^^)

I'm not much of a beer drinker, but I was high and had a Bud with Fried Chicken, it was real good.

I saw this concoction on TV. A Brooklyn Brewery Chocolate stout with Vanilla Ice cream. I wasn't that bad, but the Beer flavor overwhelmed taste of the Ice cream.

I am a lactose intolerant vegetarian mister pot!
I am so glad that megatron cut you up with his energon sword and got turned into galvatron.
But yeah, fried chicken AND chocoloate AND ice cream...

Actually, making your own beer is quite simple.

It costs about a $100 to get started, but trust me, it will be worth spent. You get the glass barrel, for brewing, all of the gizmos and gadgets that is needed in making it. Go to any brew store, you can buy it all in a kit

After you have all of the equipt., you buy a kit of your choice. They have everything from light Canadian lagar, Australian lager, light, dark, wheat beer, everything! A kit costs only $15, a produce 1/2 a keg of beer(about 65 bottles). In the kit, all you have to do is read the instructions, have part water, and in the kit is like a thick mollases(sp?), like a dark, thick syrup. Follow the instructions, very simple if you know how to read english, mix it with your corn sugar, that is what makes the alcohol content %, mix in some yeast and stuff, let the natural brewing process take place.

To make good beer, just follow the instructions. I find it best to add a bit more corn sugar for higher alcohol content, about 7% I like it at The key to getting a good brew is keeping everything as sterlilized and clean as possible. Any sign of residue soap and that brews up, you drink, can make you very sick. Checck it out!

If you like wine though, that's even easier to make. My mom makes that stuff and biy is it good. Wine making isn't as picky as brewing beer, but they both get you happily wasted

Holland is small, VERY small. The entire country of Holland can fit into Alberta 51 times...it is small. No new developments really because there is just no space. 14 million people live there, wood homes in very close corners. Not much space in between homes. People have even resorted to living in house boats along the canals. About 2000 houseboats are in canals there, they are everywhere. But hey, it's home But I live in Canada now, MUCH better.

[Canadabis]

thats funny, cause im also good with boat hull treatments
But where about in canada do you live?
I live in Toronto right now, looking at moving soon though, mabe to ottawa, or back to vancouver.


Oh and, do you have to use a glass barrel? I kind of like the archaic old idea of oak or something...just more a rustic guy I geuss.

I like my beer in the 7% range myself, mild enough to get teh flavour, strong enough for me not to be wasting my time drinking it

[duckofdeath]

amstel light best beer ever!

All my favorite beer I doubt you have heard of.

Except maybe Sierra Nevada....and Henry Weinhards.
