Hey, try living like that for 8 years like I have. That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger! At least the beer and food were good.

Is the Flat Branch still good? Planning to sample there this weekend. Any other notable Columbia MO brews/dining? Well, they recently medaled twice at GABF, so apparently they're still doing something good. Don't know of anything else in Columbia. If you don't mind an easy 30 miles total diversion,...

I want! I want! Text sent.

I'm going to do a partial boil extract kit, and I have a 1056 smack pack. I know I could just go with the smack pack straight up, but I'd prefer a starter. Problem is, I've never done one.

Surly Brewing Co.

Seems the wife-module is hell bent on trying this. I know the vast majority here are all-grain brewers, but I DO know there is some partial boil experience here as well. Anyway... We have a four gallon stock pot. Once we use this for wort, can it be safely cleaned and used for food again? From the r...

My understanding was that the real danger was from your extract going right down to the bottom of the ...

Is there still a 1/2 gallon available? If so, will one of those Rubbermaid 2 quart jugs be safe for storing it in?

In Lawrence.

Buying one would be great. Borrowing one for the next week or so would be great as well. I need it for a picnic tap.

Thanks!!
