I'm in! Thank you.

Is this where we are going with home brew? Does everyone want it to eventually be like my Keurig? Pop in a pod and get a glass of beer? I came to this forum to learn more about brewing, how it works. I love reading bits from the compassionate brewers and I take away a little from each. Thanks...

I use my vacuum sealer when we buy large packages of meat and break them down to smaller packages. We grow a big vegetable garden and package them up for the freezer. I seal up opened hops and dry yeast so they will last longer. The vacuum sealer was a life changer for us and the cordless model...
