[IBU] IBU Digest, Vol 29, Issue 7 Jaggery

[Adam Draeger]

Wait....give me a few more minutes to hug this tree here, then I will brew
the batch of super healthy, save-the-planet beer.
Now all I gots to do is gets me a pair of tights and a cape or something.

but seriously, thanks Eric for your take on the subject...

Edwards has already squashed my dreams of making the first Jaggery Beer by
sharing this link with me.
http://www.allaboutbeer.com/homebrew/23.3-kickassipas.html (about half way
down)
so it's been done before and can be done again.
