One problem I had with the first homebrew was chilling the wort (what the beer is called before you add the yeast), and to fix that problem you buy a wort chiller.
So I did, pretty cheap actually, only about $45.
The idea behind it is, cold water comes in, chills the beer, and the warmer water exists. Just a basic radiator setup. It’s designed to chill the wort in 10-15 minutes. Brewing a hefe weizen beer today, so we’ll see if it really does cool it in 10-15 mins. Last time it took us a good 30 minutes to get the wort below 80 degrees F.

I am in the process of building a server rack and while it’s fun and dandy, I don’t think I’d do it again. My first shot my measurements were off, as you can (probably) see below:
I’ve got to redo it, but it’s a work in progress. Still saving money compared to buying a rack. Total investment so far in this I think is around $100-$150.
I’ll probably make a dedicated page on here to the rack building, but I just wanted to update the blog 
Edit: here is the page http://www.riscit.info/server-rack/

I have a Logitech MOMO steering wheel and pedals, works awesome, great condition. I have the power adapter and driver CD so nothings missing in the package. Practically brand new. Manufacturer link: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/gaming/wheels/devices/320&cl=us,en
I have a CH Products Flight Yoke (USB), works awesome. I have the driver CD. It’s basically brand new as well, I’ve used it maybe 5 times. Manufacturer link: http://www.chproducts.com/retail/y_fsyusb.html
I’m asking $75 for each (plus shipping to wherever you are). Email me at riscphree at gmail dot com.
Edit: Both of these sold on ebay.

I wish I had a real camera. Like a Canon Rebel or something. My Sony Point and Shoot just can’t do what I want it to do. Although I’ve been getting some decent shots. I need to hustle more to afford a $500-$600 camera.
