[QUOTE="Thomas Tkach, post: 405940, member: 1422"] You've hit the nail on the head. I can pretty much buy the same malt, yeast, and hops that any craft brewer uses to make world-class beer. But that's not the same as growing my own barley and hops and malting them myself, etc. I've toasted brown and amber malt in the oven, but even that was from commercial 2row, not from stuff I malted myself or something. Home blending is more comparable to home brewing. The problem there is I can't get blending leaf much cheaper than finished product, whereas I can brew beer much cheaper than buying it commercially (due to the taxes on beer that aren't placed on malted barley, hops, etc, used to make the beer). Some of my favorite tobaccos are hot-pressed flakes, which you just can't replicate in home blending with loose leaf. [/QUOTE]
