Dude--- Awesome and simple. .....................would probably cost $10+ in about any deli worth its salt. Probably get better service though. ;-)

VLB--- Yeah, first time I made it a few years back I was amazed how easy it was and how tasty. I use the "make it in the jar method", don't have a crock and I don't have to get out funnels and such to get it into the jars after it ferments either.

The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men.
In it is contentment
In it is death and all you seek
