Homebrew - whatever flavor I have on tap. Imperial Pale Ale at the moment.

Oh Man, you make your own beer?  I want to make my own beer so badly.  I have the fermentation buckets and everything, I'm just not sure how to start.  Any suggestions?  There's only one HomeBrew shop here in the Bay Area and it's in San Fran.  Not very convenient...

It's the easiest thing in the world, if you can boil water you can make beer.  Just order an extract kit and make it, Almost all of them include the directions to make it.  You will need A 20qt stainless pot to boil the wort, a long spoon, some bleach to sterilize everything, some bottles (approx 50-60), a capper, and some caps, unless you are setup to keg. 
 I will never bottle beer again, washing all the bottles is a pain.  I'll send you some links for good places to order from and how-to's online. 
I mostly order from www.austinhome brewing.com and www.northernbr ewer.com All of their kits include priming sugar, yeast,

You'll be glad you started when you do.. the beer taste better than anything you can buy and cost about what milwaukee best costs to make.

COOL!  I'll have to check that stuff out.  I'll probably start with bottles, but once I get my bar built in the basement, I'll graduate to kegs I'm sure.

By this time tomorrow I should be at Marguarittavil le(sp) sipping PinaColoda's at Myrtle Beach. I feel a little guilty looking forward to this with all the tragedy we've seen the past 2 weeks but that is part of the reason I need this vacation so bad!! So I shall have a drink in all of your honors, just let me know your favorite and I'll try it!!! :D

Gotta go with a Boat Drink - Jimmy Buffett wrote a song about 'em - Dum and tonic with lime is all it is... if I'm somewhere where they can make 'em a Mojito is always great.  But if you are feeling lazy, just open a nice bottle of wine and wander down to the beach with a glass... nothing's better.  Enjoy your rest!

3 oz Peach Schnapps
1 1/2 oz Vodka
Mix it up and pour over crushed ice

Mmmm so good, wish I had one right now

"Old Fashion"
Harry Trumans' drink of choice.
Recipe:
1-2 tsp Sugar
Dash or two of Angostura Bitters (depends on amount of sugar)
Splash of Soda
Stir until Sugar mostly dissolved
Fill glass with Ice
Add Whiskey to almost top of glass (Wild Turkey is best)
Garnish with Cherry and slice of Orange
Finish filling glass with Soda
Enjoy!
This is a great before 'dinner' drink, gets the gastric juices flowing!
And the steak tastes great!

Well I'm back. We had a great hurricaine party waiting to see what Ophelia was going to do, She blew a little and rained alot but no problems.  Now I couldn't try all of your suggestions but I did ok!!! In no particular order, Captain and coke, Vanilla rum and coke, Pina Coloda, Creamsicle, Strawberry Daquiri, Traditional Margurita(my new favorite) and a few MGD's.  It was a great week but now I need to rest. :o
