Well I'm out to my LHBS picking up my first sack of 2 row for my upcoming brews. I've gotten to be pretty friendly with Roger, the owner and today he asked me how portable my setup was. Well, I said, I've had to Vermont and Mass to brew, so I guess it's portable. Seems he is doing a...

Disclaimer... This is a little long. I was kind of defending the BMCs of the world in another thread but I had to share this letter that was posted in the monthly newsletter for my beer of the month club. I got a laugh out of it. Murl, I'm not a member of your club, but I found the...
