I would have to say that we here in the Sheboygan area take our
bratwurst seriously, very seriously. I am also the President of the
local Homebrew club (The Sheboygan Sudzzers) we have discussed this
very topic at length and we all agree, leave the par-boiling to the
armatures.

Well shitfire, if you're against parboilin, you got to be right!

Any of your boys brew a good imperial stout? Drink of the gods that is, a
good home brewed imperial, I've too damn seldom had the pleasure. I still
dream about the last batch I had the luck to help finish.
