Could that be a point we had in mind when we made the op. Could be. We have found other ways to get our supplies. More people are having problems so wherever the breach is its NOT fixed yet. That tells me there must be a lot of finger pointing and no one cares about the card holders.

I'm not going to flame you. My Son is the OP. I had the first problem on July 4th. As stated I ordered over the phone. Three days later he found out he had been hit. The only thing we had in common was MW orders. He was a member here and wondered if by chance anyone else had this in common. I...

What a wonderful explanation. Now I do not own a computer. I use a not very smart smartphone. I ordered my supplies over the phone. That's when you call and talk to a real person. Like we did before computers. My card was used, or whatever you call it. I don't order online. I guess I should...

Yes I do use my card at a couple of other places that were not on the list referenced. However I will not expose my card activities outside where I have ordered brewing supplies. My bank is taking care of the fraud, and I have found another source that us local. If I have another breach I'll get...

Midwest is the only place I had ordered from.

No it's not just visa. I used a master card.

I went to lowes and bought a primo water bottle. It works great as my secondary.

10 lbs of ice is 1 gal of water

Bed bath and beyond has steeping bags 4/$2.99.

I would say if you want to boil limit the time the water is in the bottle. That would make soft spots and thin the plastic. That's why I use oxyclean and starsans.

Humm, pawpaws never crossed my mind. Could be good! As for the water bottle just clean it with oxyclean and don't use a brush.

For a carboy I use a water bottle I got at lowes. It's lite weight and works great.
