What up err body?  Since I never did a video of the kegerator in action, I thought I’d toss one up for ya!  I’ve got the drip tray installed and I’ve already went through a 5 gallon batch of Phat Tyre (Fat Tire).  I’ve got 2 beers on tap at the moment and 3 five gallon kits that I need to make soon!
I’ll have to say I’ve learned a lot in the past couple of months about home brew!  It’s crazy how much can go into making your own beer …

Ok folks, here’s the latest video that shows the full size refrigerator converted to Jake’s Kegerator!  It was very easy to do and I’m glad I went with the full size fridge.  Maybe sometime down the road, I can convert a mini-fridge or freezer (keezer).
The Phat Tyre extract kit has been fermenting for 2 weeks now and I’m gonna leave it in the primary for another week, then keg it!  So that’ll be my first kegging experience and hopefully the Phat Tyre will taste great!
I’ll probably do a video on …

In my last post, you can watch a video that shows my new refrigerator conversion kit I purchased from Keg Connection.  You can see that video by CLICKING HERE.

In this post, I have a video that shows the actual refrigerator I’ll be converting.  As you will hear me say in the video, there’s many different options when it comes to building your own kegerator.  Mini fridges and chest freezers are two popular choices, but I …

Geez…. for somebody that has an opinion on just about everything, you’d think I’d be blogging more huh?  Well… as if you didn’t already know, I have taken a little hiatus from this blog  “My Life as I See It”.  Why?  Cause I wanted too 
haha.. seriously, there are a few reasons why I’ve not been blogging much.  It’s surely not because I don’t have anything to say!
With the holidays, being busy with other things and just plain, outright BORED… I needed a break!
But, rather than type it out, …

What’s up folks… well it’s a cold and rainy Saturday here in the NC foothills.  Not much going on today… just chillin around the house and working on a few things here and there.  Things have been going pretty well…  We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and I’ve got quite a bit of my Christmas shopping done.  The day after Thanksgiving we have a tradition of going to the mountains and cutting down a fresh Christmas tree so that was a fun time.  We got it up and decorated and ready …

First off… HAPPY THANKSGIVING to everyone!  I am so thankful for everything and everyone in my life.  We all have so much to be thankful for and I hope each of you take time to reflect on what you have, and not what you do not have!  Remember to make every day count!
I wanted to do a quick post on my progress with the Mr Beer kit.  Be sure to check out the links below that will take you to the first 2 videos and also a link to make …

Anyway, Misty had been keeping my birthday weekend a secret and I had no idea what was going on.  We love surprising each other and she totally outdid me this year haha..  Friday night, before my b’day, she had a nice evening planned.  We …

So, Monday evening Misty and I made our weekly trip to our local Walmart to restock on food and necessities.  After visiting the non-food side to get the doggie treats and such, we headed to the grocery side!
WHAT???? Do my eyes deceive me???? Walmart in Mt. Airy, NC “Mayberry” is selling wine and beer????
Now I’ve blogged about “Mayberry” being in the heart of the Bible belt before, and I realize the subject of “beer” or any other alcoholic drink is a VERY touchy subject for some people.  I definitely …
