Beer: Random Thoughts

This past week I have decided to not make a mess of my kitchen anymore and move my brewing operations down to the basement and outside. Conveniently I have a walk out so it makes things much easier. This weekend we get to try it out for the first time when we brew our New England 1020 IPA! I just added a dart board and other things to make it a bit more cozy. Next step is adding an old school tube TV with NES or SNES hooked up to it!

I have been drooling over a brewing system for about a year now. Whenever I see it all I can think about is this:

I am going to try to make that dream a reality next year. I don't know how I am going to do it, but I am going to do it. Everything about it is so perfect. It is called the Brew Magic V350MS System.
