Hole punching tends to be messier with all of the paper bits and more prone to jammed up machinery and failed punches than stamping or printing.Tom Shepherdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-24947974995153811542016-11-11T01:06:17.126-08:002016-11-11T01:06:17.126-08:00Tom Shepherd,

Oats is also trendy these days for New England-style IPAs.<br /><br />This: "Such nutrition is much needed when roasted and black malts are in use, as the latter are practically devoid of nutriment." Doesn't seem to make much sense.
