You Complete Me!

After almost 3 years in the making The Enabler completed his crown table by sealing it in epoxy tonight. At last count there are roughly 1080 crowns (bottles caps to the lay man) almost all of which have been partaken from in some form or fashion. When completed the only question was when do I get to start on mine?


Watch the ooze take it over

We're Last but Legal

Alabama's Gov. Bentley signed into law late tonight the Right to Brew Bill (or HB9). The bill actually ratified Amendment 621 of the State of Alabama Constitution of 1901 (the largest state constitution in the US.). So prohibition finally ends in all states under all cases with regards to the Eighteenth Amendment (1920-1933). Yeah it's true in the South I guess we don't get in a hurry. Basically I can brew, blog about it, share it, with just a few stipulations. Only 15 gallons may be brewed per HOUSEHOLD per quarter of calendar year, self consumption or sharing, transport of no more than 10 gallons for any state competition licensed through the ABC, and of course no distillations! Not to be confused with "No disintegration."

HB9 Passed the Senate!

In a strange twist HB9 (Alabama's Homebrewing Law) passed the Senate 18-7-1 without one word of debate and has gone on to the governor for passage.
"It goes to Governor Bentley now.  Although he has indicated that he supports the bill, we need to make sure he knows thousands of Alabamians want him to sign it.  This is the one, last step needed before Homebrewing is legal in Alabama, and in all 50 states!  So, please go to http://governor.alabama.gov/contact/contact_form.aspx, and fill out the form with your information.  Choose "Legislative Session 2013" from the "Email Concerning which Issue" choices.  And in the "Comments", in your own words, politely ask the governor to sign HB9, the Homebrew Bill.  Try to get as many people as you can to do this!  We know our prohibitionists opposition will be writing him, and we must vastly overwhelm their numbers!!" Not sure how I feel about not being an outlaw?!
Thanks to Right to Brew.

I Just Shipped my Beer!

I found so much humor in this and The Enabler almost had RR blow out of his nose, that I had to post Kmart shipping everything.
