Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

This is what I do twice a day. Sometimes three if I'm feeling a little risky. Not alcohol, but it gets me feeling just as good

I drink the cheapest beer I can find. Often it takes the form of Milwaukee's Best (actually Milwaukee's worst), or Genesee, depending on whats on sale. Often I can find twelve packs for $3.99. If not, I just buy a thirty of PBR.

Last night I drank a bunch of Black Label 'cause they were giving it to us on the house at our favorite local dive bar. I kinda feel like my entire body is made of garbage today.

I hope you guys talking about milk are somewhat kidding. I'm not Mr. Anti-milk (well, actually I guess I am) and this is not the place to get into it, but there are more reasons not to drink milk than to drink it.
I like the lager a little better than the ale, the cider is alright too.

I have a gallon bottle of metheglin in the fridge that I'm working on. I also just brewed some ginger beer. It's still too sweet, but should be dry and around 3% or 4% alcohol when it's finished.

king tampers are hawt. complete the kitchen makeover with the salt/pepper shakers!

while i don't use the king myself, i did use an MDF grinder for many years (brew machine has always been an isomac single-boiler e36, recently PIDed). how many times has your doser handle broken off? other than this (easily fixed) issue, i loved it. sold it for a vario, which after nearly a year i am still not happy with. what next?

I'm currently drinking Southern Tier Brewery's fine double IPA. If you like that sort of thing, it is an excellent example of a super hoppy ale. It doesn't have a stupid name, and it comes in a nice tasteful green bottle that doesn't look like it was attacked by a five year old with a crayon. Plus, like all fine beers, if you drink enough of it it makes you all super witty, charming and handsome and stuff (look what it did for me).

I may also have slipped, fallen, and imbibed one of Stone's Ruination IPA's (the big bottle, oh yes) earlier on. For a short while women wanted me, and men wanted to be me.

Add Sam Adams Harvest Pumpkin Ale to the list. I actually like a lot of Sam Adams seasonals (Holiday Porter, Chocolate Bock). The pumpkin is not overpowering and barely noticeable, but it's there. Got a nice roasty taste from it.

Doser handle has yet to break, I've only had the grinder for a week or two! I love it though, the grind is so much more consistent than the Bodum that I foolishly tried to use for espresso (french-press duty only now) and goes way finer than I need. I think later this week when I run out of beans I'm going to convert it to stepless, although between tamping pressure/dosage the steps haven't really been an issue. I have read about the doser issues, but I love tinkering with **** (we all seem to) and wouldn't mind replacing it. I also baby my stuff and keep everything spotless so I'm not too worried about it.

I also highly recommend the Gaggia Classic to anyone starting in espresso. I found mine on sale for only $350, it pushes water at the correct temp and pressure (which apparently might be a lucky find on my part) and after adding the Silvia steam wand it's great for milk.
