Purchase rice hulls locally?
I forgot to order some rice hulls with the ingredients I just purchased for brewing up 10 gallons of Hefe. I was hoping to brew it this Saturday. Is there a local place in Lawrence where I could buy a couple pounds? The Ale n Vino in Topeka doesn't have any. Any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers.
