People like me haven't done everything, and prefer to learn from the mistakes of others over their own.

If that so grievously offends you, then you can ignore me in the future.

Despite what others say, go ahead and give a small quantity of wine a go with the hops... you never know until you try.

What do you have to lose? time, a one gallon batch of wine, and a couple hops??
