www.northernbrewer.com is where I bought my husband the deluxe kit.

what kind of beer does your husband prefer? if he likes an ipa or a high ABV, you'd want to get him a kit with a secondary fermentor. in our experience with brewing beer at home, a second fermentation definitely makes a better beer. however, you can always begin with the starter kit and branch out. carboys can be bought separately.

also, if you don't know what kind of beer he likes or it may be awhile before he brews his first batch, i'd suggest letting him pick the brew kit. the grains should be used within a few weeks if they've been crushed.

best of luck! its a long but fun process!

anyone know where the glass log candleholder came from?? thanks!

In the IKEA near me they have a wall of spare parts near the returns/customer service area. If you have one near you, then you may be in luck!

MMMM!

Can I ask where the jars came from in the photo of this yummy recipe? I've been looking for some jars just like that for my son's baby food!

Thanks roxy72 and mayalaurent... i thought it could have been that couch. this post only reaffirms that i need the morgan couch!

awesome! i just bought a new carbon steel wok and will have to try this out.

Really cool! :) Pesto would be so much easier with this food processor, my sad and tired processor doesn't do the job well.

Yay! That is what my son is going to be for halloween 2011.. unless he arrives a few days early! :)

Oh, I love tea. I drink it daily and prefer it to coffee. So, I have a lot of teas that I just can’t live without.

My absolute favorite is

Jasmine Pearl Green Tea
It is a unique tea that is rolled up into little balls and scented with Jasmine. It is on the expensive side but I have brewed the same leaves 2-3 times and it still tastes lovely.

I recently got the chance to try Strawberry White Tea and I just loved it! I am not normally a fan of fruity teas but this one was light and wonderful. I got it from Indigo Tea locally in Minneapolis/St. Paul Area.

I also drink Matcha, a powdered green tea, every morning! I’ve had it several ways but I usually drink it with water or milk. I got mine directly from Japan so I do not have a good source for you!

Lastly, if you like roobis teas, Herb and Ginger has a ton of great flavors. I have tried their Summer Mango iced.
