I havent purchased anything as yet (work, work,work no happy time for me ) the HBS that I go to has a very helpful gentleman by the name of Dave most of his stock is in bulk and he weighs to order what you need I'm hoping to go on the weekend and get what I need.I reckon he will give me a pretty good idea on the subject(over a couple of brews I hope) the best thing about the shop is some of the guys sitting around sipping a beer are vey helpful as well, its a great place to go! will give you an up date and as always thankyou again
p.s. any good refernce books that you could recomend would be great too I've got the Home brewers companion by Charlie Papazian its a good start but i'm looking for something that explains grain brewing a little better>
