Edit: found it - strange that it didn't come up for me the other day

Hey man - I can't find the group, only that one event page.

If anyone here who is a competent AG brewer and a competent AG distiller felt like starting a PM conversation with me, it would be appreciated. I am trying to get my head around a few small details - there seems to be comparatively less concrete/consistent mashing details in this other dark...

Billygoat and I will be at Cubby Haus brewing around 12.45/1pm-ish this coming Sunday. We'll work out the rest from there!
