    Smoked Malts: Appropriate Amounts

    N00b saying hi.

    I've no doubt... But I have NO space for my current hobbies let alone my family. :D I don't even have space for a kegerator let alone the materials to keep one filled. I'm a guitar player and sales analyst...have experience with Gibson, Diezel, and Excel if anyone wants to shoot...
