I'm not a home brewer, however, I do have a tip...share!

I recognized how ridiculous my statement was as I typed and thought to myself "well, fuck it."

Making beer at home

Rule #1: Your first batch won't be very good. 

Step 2: Enjoy your crappy beer. after all, its still beer.

C. Try again.

If you can make it to a second batch, you will end up making some good beer.

Sounds good, I am pretty careful, I will be using heat rather than spray sanitizer. I have a 20qt pot and tube style wort chiller.

I have been using a sulfate solution, I sanitize everything that touches the beer in any way with that stuff.

Just ordered a ton of maintenance items for my coupe to get it running perfect=) I can almost guarantee the fuel filter hasn't ever been changed in all 220,000 miles...

Ben took one of his cars to an actual event! *cough*onatrailer*cough* Yay Ben!

Also, due to deteriorating ice conditions and getting to run before the AWD cars, I was able to post the fastest time fo a non-studded car. yay me!

[Earl]

So was Ben studded or was the e34 really faster than his snow munching machine?

[HipMF]

His.. er... "vehicle" has mud/all-terrain tires, which aren't very good on ice. The welded diff also makes it a challeng to corner. It would be interesting to see how well it would do in a dirt rallyx...

The tires are great in snow, but are not quite as good as true snow tires on ice. 
The welded diff makes it extremely interesting when letting off the gas at all. Immediate "oversteer". 
Rally-X will be interesting in it, that's for sure!

Anyone know these guys?

I remember seeing the car at scooters a couple years ago, and one of the pics in the write-up actually looks like it was taken there.

[patsbimmer1]

One of the pictures is Scooters and the other 2 are dubs in the valley with a picture of Scooter actually in the first.

[Earl]

You don't know Nick Fera?

[wasnt m3]

A flat black 928 with a small block is not worthy of that article IMO.

[HipMF]

You might be right. I doubt too many purist would "crap their khakis "over a 928. It's still cool to see something local on Jalopnik though.

Sad day when a lil homie trades a crab for a carb.

[Earl]

If it was a very labor intensive swap I could see it but this was almost a bolt in affair by how quickly Nick did it

Earls got the connexzzzz

I've know the Feras for awhile.  I think the car is pretty cool, but equally impressive is them doing everything themselves (and quite well I may add). Some of the details of the car are done really well and says a lot for their age/experience.

[ClassE]

I find it annoying that a business in this day and age - doesn't provide a confirmation email, tracking, receipt.... Anything.  

Its not a "big deal", just annoying as a consumer.
