[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 550143, member: 1211"] I think for a few reasons... 1) where to start? the idea can be overwhelming. A lot of time, too many options is not a good thing. 2) it can get pricey, depending on what you want to do (DUH) 3) it isn't easy. I know I've been surprised with how difficult it is. I've tried many times and failed horribly. 4) again, depending on what you see as integral to blending, it requires patience. It's a slow-moving monster if you want to include heat, pressing, etc. As an aside, I was gifted a puck of a home blend. It was OK. I wondered what it could have been with another several days in a press and then with 6-12 months of aging. It seemed like it had good bones, but it needed TIME. But what do I know? I suck at this.
