  He has an unbeatable beer selection! Other than that he's a cool guy and some of his items
  (bottles + sugar) are cheaper than online. As far as grain and yeast he doesn't have the
  quanity and selectio...

  This will be my last post in this misunderstood thread. I never said extract wasn't good of

  Not trying to pick a fight to each his own. But the making a cake story pretty much proves my

  I agree with hughbrooks. I use walmart spring water and 5.2 to make things easier! Yes I know I
  can get this and that report on the water but really? Also don't tell me I don't need something
