Watched the old 1966 movie for the first with the kids last night. Hilarious stuff, much prefer this guy as batman than Ben Affleck

This was the very reason I got into all grain brewing. A trip to the UK made me very keen to see if I could source some of the great beers I had on holiday back home. When I found a localish bottle shop I was stoked only to be very dissapointed when I started pouring pints of ale that travelled...

I always liked Jim Jefferies solution. If your a bloke and don't like the idea of two blokes getting married, then don't marry one, easy fix.

A drunken night on ebay saw me purchase a $20 sep funnel thinking that this would revolutionize my yeast rinsing, maybe a better quality one would be ok but the glass stop cock on mine was quite a rough surface, it did come apart completely for cleaning but i reckon the rough surface would be a...
