That's awesome. So is this a little craft brewery somewhere? If so can you give the name/location?

I feel the need to post on this, although I'm still a pretty new brewer. Brewed this BIAB, 60 minute boil as opposed to 90. No transfer to secondary although we used the dry hop scheduled outlined in the first post. It is by far the best brew we've made (and none have been bad, most have been...
