Summersolstice, Thanks for the response. My father-in-law had concurred with everything you said. He grew up there so he understood the limitations he'd likely run into in trying to brew beer there immediately. However, he had taken a draw off of the Apfelwein (Edwort's) that I had started...

Revvy, What are you saying about our central bank and the pairing of an image of two pennies with a talk about sanitation? -j. p.s. sorry ahead of time... I just like the juxtaposition of the two. It definately wasn't meant as a highjack.
