Thanks for the response to the many replies on probrewer Ralph. I will speak on behalf of some of the very small brewers out there. When the you know what hit the fan and the shortage began, many brewers, myself included looked at the situation at hand. We were told by all suppliers that the shortage was going to be longer than what it in the end turned out to be. We responded ny getting ...
