Don't think you're getting it. Not only does it make making mash easier it also makes your mash better. Buy one, you'll not regret it.
Not gonna lie, the reason I chose the Shiraz over the Douro last night is one was 14.5% and the other 13%. No brainer. Just had my first taste of the Plantation. Neat, in a JD shot glass. First impression is it's nice. Could get used to it! Will have to give it a go with coke and lime though, mixed.
