Funny you mention that,
@mirthfuldragon. I probably wouldn't have noticed the crab apple tree outside the post office yesterday if I hadn't read your post. That tree is loaded, too!
Anyway, I decided to woman up and follow through with this since no one has jumped at taking over for me. I've ordered the supplies, will get two batches brewed asap (fail-safe), and can keg carb if I need a "shortcut".
Has a ship date been established yet? I tried to read through the thread to catch up on things but might have overlooked that.
