This issue most likely has been addressed but I feel a need to rant. So received an email about discounted membership so I figured I would check...
Yet another reason, why I prefer to brew my own. Synthetic ingredients, Yummm.
If kept dry grain will keep almost indefinitely. Keeping it in a sealed container will kept it from going stale for a very long time. Once...
The main issue is if you freeze your yeast solid. Ice crystals form in the cells and cause them to burst, thus killing the yeast. The initial...

Hmmmm never considers this. Any chance you know off the top of your head the size of said elbow?
