Thanks Mikey, I'll pass that along. Greg

I have had a question put to me from my cousin who also is doing homebrew beer. He has a recipe that calls for lagering malt and neither one of us have heard of lagering malt. Could someone please explain what this is and where you find it? Greg

I have 55 Grolsch bottles, I like them better than caps. The problem is getting them back from "friends" you'd be surprized how many you have when you start making beer.
