I couldn't wait that long, and I'm glad I didn't...
I lived in Canton when I got into brewing...and it was that store and that guy that I depended on. I bought his kits, and for a partial grain brew they are a really good way to go. I don't know if you have done all grain brewing, I'd strongly suggest it and he can help you out. Even when I moved to the beach I would order my supplies from there until I found a shop only 30 minutes away. (Now only 5 minutes. bouncyblue.gif)
Good to hear DD enjoyed the stout...I'm very happy with it. The use of the oak chips has been pretty common lately as we see more "oaked" brews hit the shelves. It's the happy answer to those of us that don't own our own casks. Next time I'm going to let them soak longer in the fermenter...but I had read that they can really impart themselves strongly so I used an abundance of caution for my first try.
