The latest from Twitter: @BlueOxCoffeeCompany plugs their peppermint mocha garnished with a Thin Mint from the Girl Scouts (it’s that time of year!), @ngonbistro announces their Valentine’s Day tasting menu, @RogueChocolate marvels that every one of their bars is hand-inspected by the founder himself, and @france44 is serving a decadent-sounding fig salami with blue cheese.
SaintPaulitan runs the numbers on homebrewing and demonstrates that it’s a foolish economic proposition — unless you happen to think that homebrewing is fun.

The starter kit is overkill. They are wasting money on useless stuff they can just buy from a kitchen supply outlet or already own. Who the heck buys a bottling tree? Or who actually uses bottles anymore? Buy used soda kegs – they are cheap. I bought a fridge over the internet a few months ago for 40 bucks (included shipping). Really – do some research – these guys didn’t and their costs are much higher because of it. And apparently these guys social lives suck so much that don’t do have friends who come over and drink beer.
I’ve been home brewing for years and its paid back many many times.
$3 in sanitizer per batch? You’re doing it wrong.
hint: you’re not supposed to sanitize the entire house.
