Cheers,

Recently, I found out that Digbie is considered a secondary source, so
my question is, does anyone know of any primary sources??  I would be
interested in finding out what people are using as sources - primary,
secondary, or tertiary.  Any help, info, or websites would be greatly
appreciated.

[ Editor's note: This fellow is obviously a SCAdian, and thus probably
is most interested in brewing before 1600. Digby is from 1669, but
some people claim that he was writing about older techniques, since he
was really old when he wrote his book. I think that discussing "Is
Digby relevant to pre-1600 brewing" in terms of whether Digby is a
primary or secondary source for pre-1600 brewing is extremely
confusing, and should be avoided at all costs. Digby is obvious a
primary source for the brewing that he personally did. -- Greg ]
