Well Clovis, as a charter member of the "Just Say NO to Beer SNOBS" movement,
I can admit to having brewed (and kegged) beer since Reagan's first term. 

Rufus - here's a clue for ya: 1-800-U-BREWIT  - a fine VA establishment
offering _terrific_ prices on homebrew equipment and materials. They will sell
you a kit for ~$14.00 (as opposed to some of the local brewing supply
clip-joints that charge ~$25.00 - $28.00 for the exact same kit); if you 
prefer the basic materials, their prices are equally good. I do both as
the mood strikes.

Curious how some beer-elitists (people utterly incapable of enjoying the 
pleasures of a cold $0.25 beer) immediately discount anyone who does.

Open your mind Bobo - sometimes a Nutty-Buddy can be as enjoyable as an
elegant tiramisu (keeping with a recent thread =:-o).
