    Hey all! I had to stitch in a video of Kurt letting everybody know that due to several instances of COVID in the family, and both of us being sick, we’ve made the tough decision to cancel the livestream this afternoon. For some reason that clip got blacked out in rendering.
    So no livestream tonight, we are looking at next Friday instead. Sorry all! Hope you have a great weekend.

      Not everyone is going to get the same notes. I've never gotten tobacco or leather from anything, while other people frequently do. On the other hand I frequently get a note of butter, and a roasting ear note, and others get those very rarely if at all. Everyone's palate is different.
      However, practice does help. After two years I can get more than I could after one, and a *ton* more than I could when I started. 🙂
