    Can you make Tortilla chips out of mash?

    How important is hot water when cleaning equipment?

    I recently bought a utility sink only to find out I cannot get a hot water line to it. So If I go all cold (from the hose / water faucet coming off the house) is this going to be a big issue when doing my cleaning routine? I image the hot water breaks down the build up in bottles and has some...

    Nanobrewerys selling clones as their own

    There is a nanobrewery in el centro here that is selling clones on tap as there own. They have switched some little things out here and there in there recipes but the brewmaster claims they are basically clones. Is this more common than I think? I understand this should be in probrewer but I...
