I also have a APO address, I recently ordered a boilermaker Brew Pot from rebelbrewer.com and got free shipping directly to me! Just a thought if you are looking for Blichmann gear.
I have made the bourbon barrel porter from northern brewer, which I added a whole bottle of makers mark. After about 6 months every thing came together really nice and smooth. I will be making this every year for a hefty cold night drink!
I am going to attempt to make a combination of a milk stout and a oatmeal stout. I was considering adding 2 different kinds of wyeast to get the best of both yeast? I want to mix 1332 northwest and 1945 neobritannia. What is everyone's opinion?
