It is very hard to ruin a beer. Be patient, let the beer magic do its work, you may end up with something very special to reward you for your patience.

I once saw someone make a beer to celebrate the birth of a baby named Abigail. The beer was called ABigAle.

Some of the bs I hear about Obama is just ridiculous (food stamp president, birthers claims, the radical socialist muslim terrorist that wants to steal your precious guns)

Administration Raids medical marijuana dispenseries.
Engaged in more wars and increased troop levels in Afghanistan.
Re signed the PATRIOT act with no changes
Signed NDAA
Supported Bailouts

I could go on. There are legitimate complaints from people of all backgrounds on Obama. Do I hate him? No. Do I think he's doing what he thinks is right? Yes. Do I think he'd be cool to hang out with? Probably. Will I vote for him? No.

You cut a hole in the top and screw on the tower. There are tons of conversion guides online.

The point is, once you cut the hole, it is no longer a mini-fridge.

I have a kegerator that I built. I prefer the look of a kegerator with a tower, but the main reason I went this route is that we need to keep it in the house and I don't have room for even the smallest freezer.

You can convert a keezer back to a freezer, but once you make a kegerator it's permanent.

Kegerator would give you more room and the ability to use it as a fermentation chamber.

Kegerators have trouble cooling the tap tower sometimes.

You'll be happy either way...

I live in Texas and appeal my property taxes online every year. They always settle and reduce them.

I'd go with a tap a draft setup if I were in your shoes.

Either way, your husband will be happy you're putting in so much effort on his behalf.

I'm not voting for Romney or Obama. I don't know if I should go Gary Johnson or write in Ron Paul. I wish Paul would make his wishes known if he doesn't get the nomination. I would like to see his supporters united in who they vote for, not split between different candidates and non-voters.

I force carb and there is almost no sediment.

Carbing with priming sugar causes the yeast to begin multiplying again which increases sediment.

If you carbonate with priming sugar you will have some sediment in the bottom of the keg. If you're cool with a little sediment, then it's no big deal. If you don't want it you can pour off the first few glasses to reduce it, or trim your keg's dip tube to be above the sediment level.

Personally I force carb. Put a blanket of CO2 on the beer by burping the headspace and then disconnect it from the gas. Chill the beer and then reattach the gas at about 30psi for 24 hours. Disconnect the gas and burp all the gas out of the keg, reset the regulator to serving pressure (10psi usually for me) and reattach the gas.

I have never seen the appeal to an aquatic car. You end up with a crappy car combined with a crappy boat.

I always ask who their favorite football team is. Then I say, if you knew they weren't going to win the super bowl, would you stop supporting them?

Voting is like cheering for your favorite team, not like picking the winning horse at the track.

I think it's interesting and it's a clever approach.

Having said that, I don't think it's worth the effort. I have never experienced any issues with oxygenation or contamination using my current methods. If I had problems, I would give this a try to solve them, but I don't.

How come conservatives aren't running on a platform to return to prohibition? Or banning tobacco?

It is not the government's job to run your life.

I see how some people aren't for animal rights. Some of the things touted as rights are screwy, but I can't see how anyone could condone animal cruelty.

In my opinion it is a shame that you have to ask that question, but it is a responsible question.

"This is no different than withholding transportation funds from states that don't enforce seat-belt laws."

Seat-belt laws are also stupid.

Assuming you have all other debts paid off too...

1) Maximize Retirement Contributions

2) Increase college savings (if applicable)

3) Invest and grow your wealth (this includes real estate, etc)

4) Give. Make your financial independence a gift to others.
