I live in Acworth and was looking forward to BMW opening up as I HATE the drive to the other "local" HBS. There is nothing local about it unless you live way on the northside of town. I have stopped at a couple of the chain wine making stores for emergency items and always make a point to...

Thanks to all for telling me I suck! I've never made a score worthy of such an honor, so this is a first for me.:p BierMuncher - Thanks for the advice on the mill particularly. I'll hook up the compressor this weekend and blow that thing out. Gila - I actually got the stuff from the...

I have a total of 4 batches under my belt, 3 extracts and a partial mash. Batches 3 and 4 are in process, but so far so good. I want to do all grain. Always have. I'm getting closer. Ok, on with the bragging...to me anyway. This past weekend I picked up a huge amount of all grain...
