If they are using UPS, I might be ordering from them more. Fed-ex Home is horrible here.

You'll want all the wort boiled. It can be In one pot all at once. You could boil some, add in wort after some boil-off then start you hop schedule. Use multiple pots and combine. The only way to have enough sugar to do a partial boil is to mash as much as you can and add extract make up the...

maybe the incoherent post.

A supermarket, that's what I want. No outdated tiny hole-in-the-wall shop that has old ingredients, when they are in stock at all. Northern brewer, Midwest and Austin Homebrew Supply's retail locations are like this. Oh, and a place to actually park my truck that isn't a city meter. A place...
