I agree with the coffee grinder insight. I was going to hit the button once and rotate in new grains, but its probably better not to even touch the grinder. I'll probably have to use a beer bottle as a rolling pin since I don't do any baking (cooking though I do cook well enough).
I do shop elsewhere for everything else, but this weekend I wanted to get a brew in the fermenter, thus I had to do with whatever ingredients I could scrounge at this liquor store and "home brew shop". Iowa City isn't exactly bursting with homebrew shops. And I also try to keep buying stuff there because if they were to stop carrying things like bottle caps, I'd be SOL because I've completely forgot them before and had to make a frantic dash to this place for caps. Overall, I'm not 100% happy with using a dry lager yeast (Saflager S-23) for this "Harp clone" but it will have to do as it was all they had in the lager category. Also, the grains turn out to be 20 deg. L crystal. So its going to be darker than I want it, but I always end up with darker beers than I want due to being limited to boil sizes <3.5 gallons. Mostly it is poor planning on my part. Heck, I didn't even notice it until today but I've been lagging on actually drinking my own beer, as I only have 38 empty bottles and a 120 or so still bottled waited to be consumed. This is a definite sin... I need to keep putting off having friends over.
