so I'm getting married next week, August 4th in Buffalo, NY to the most wonderfully awesome woman, in front of almost 250 friends and family. It's been a long, long wait for this but its been more than worth it. (\end sappy rant).
I was going to make pedals for all my groomsmen as gifts, but that was too much work, so I made them beer instead. actually, 3 beers. A Belgian, a Steam Beer and something I call Irish Gold.
I'll be off to Jamaica the week after. Very excited so say the least. I got her a nice Nikon DLSR (DSLR?) for a wedding gift so we should have some nice pictures to share afterwards!

NICE dude.
Camera's a great idea. As were the beers. I've already got a kegerator... been toying with the idea of trying homebrewing...

You are a man of good taste! Beer is a way better gift then a pedal! (slightly depending who your groomsmen are....) Getting married is a blast (almost my first anniversary!) and judging by what you are writing, you are off with a good start. Enjoy, and if she's the one, keep her!!!

Congrats, Z-man!
Homebrew FTW!
I just got back from the homebrew shop. I'm brewing this weekend, and the wife has asked me to show her the ropes. Should be fun having a helper for a change.

Am I sensing a strange correlation between these two hobbies?  |

I agree, this is an uncanny confluence of taste in hobbies! My wife (of 14 years now! Hard to believe) got me this "beers of the world" sampler for X-mas. I loved it! So for my recent birthday, my wife wondered aloud what to get me, and just when I was about to say "money for pedal parts!", my five-year-old daughter says, "just get him a pack of beer!"  So I did in fact receive a "summer beer" sampler. God I love my family! All the best to you and your wife! Enjoy it because it goes by way too fast. |

Congratulations. Good call with the brews for gifts. I agree, this is an uncanny confluence of taste in hobbies!
Indeed there is. I have a batch of Dark Lager beer to bottle next week then I'm going to make some spirits with Still Spirits for the first time, I can't wait. Just 8 days for 23L of 15-20% for next to nothing. My local shop rents the "water purifier" that can further refine it up to 60-80% which can be cut down to 40% and mixed with their flavor essence packages to create a very large assortment of drinks. Their website is http://stillspirits.com/. It should prove to be an interesting experience. |

Aziltz, congratulations in advance! God bless New Zealand, where home distillation (owning and operating a still) is completely legal for your own use. I've done a few homebrews, no spirits yet though. |
