New in today the origin of Badger Hill Brewing in liquid form just arrived! According to Brock and Brent, this beer is the true "foundation" of their brewery. They set out to create a semi-sweet English inspired robust stout. If you recall we had the very first keg of this to hit the market back when we h Foundation Stout <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs115/1102140918849/img/1214.png> ad them in for a tasting. It was fantastic. At 6.3% it's potent enough to warm you on these cold evenings, but tender enough to avoid the embarrassment of alcohol induced hulking. It is now available packaged in 6pks! Here is what they have to say about the beer: "Taking cues from old English and Irish Stouts, two brothers from the Land of 10,000 Lakes landed on their own perfect brew. The reveal? A sweet, malty roast that hints of coffee, caramel and chocolate-and finishes off clean with touches of American hops. In other words: not too schmaltzy, not too bitter. Like you'd expect from a couple of nice, well-balanced Minnesota guys." -Michael Hulk <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs115/1102140918849/img/1215.jpg> <http://img.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101093164665/travel_winerydi vider.gif> Odell 2-fer! <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs115/1102140918849/img/1209.jpg> Have you been good this year, or have you been a Friek? That's OK, either way you can enjoy Odell's Friek, an Oak barrel aged blend of Kriek (cherry lambic) and Framboise (raspberry lambic). The tart cherries mingle with sweet raspberry, creating a bed for the oak barrel induced vanilla and caramel flavors to snuggle in. And if you have been EXTRA good (or naughty) we have also received a second shipment of The Meddler, one of my favorite beers of the year. <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs115/1102140918849/img/1208.jpg> The Meddler is an oud bruin, a very rare style that developed in the Flanders region of Belgium. It takes 18 months of aging and blending to create this beer, which is comprised of several generations of brown ales aged in oak barrels. Wild yeasts, Lactobacillus, and Brettanomyces do their work to add a lightly sour finish to the sweet chocolate and vanilla flavors. Both beers are here in limited quantities, stop by soon! -Bryan <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs039/1102140918849/img/1031.jpg> <http://img.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101093164665/travel_winerydi vider.gif> The Firkins Online Store: for all your gifting needs.

We have books on brewing, beer history, and food and beer pairings. How do you think the Firkins crew got so smart? Obviously by drinking lots of beer. You can shortcut all that beer drinking by loading the information directly into your brain via book! It's like the Matrix. Whoa. -Bryan <http://img.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101093164665/travel_winerydi vider.gif> Stone Bad-Ass Double Bastard! We received a special delivery from Stone that glowed with an unholy light. Yes, the legendary Double Bastard 3 Liter Bottle was in there! <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs115/1102140918849/img/1216.jpg> This beer is so dangerous it comes padlocked. You have to commit when you let the bastard free! Double Bastard is an American Strong Ale that weighs in at 11.2% ABV and is face meltingly hoppy AND malty, with citrus and toffee battling for your tongue's soul. For the more feint of heart we also are carrying 22oz bombers. It is pure arrogance in liquid form. It can inhabit your beer fridge (and not inhibit your behavior) today! -Bryan <http://img.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101093164665/travel_winerydi vider.gif> Beer Menorah - Hanukkah is only 8 days away! <http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs115/1102140918849/img/1210.jpg> All the yiddisher kop are vying to get one of these for their Hanukkah celebration. >From Shmaltz Brewing Company we have the incredibly popular Beer Menorah Gift Pack!

FYI Everyone - This past summer's All-Club Campout was organized by Jack of All Brews Homebrew Club in Waconia. Many of us are members of both clubs, and others as well, and we all thank Chris German and the folks at Rahr for their support, the wonderful tour they put on as well as the gift of grain we received after the tour.

Yup, it's going to be our dozenth anniversary and we're getting ready for another awesome Mashout! This year’s theme, since it's our twelfth anniversary, is The Dirty Dozen. For you volunteers, and if you aren't one you really gotta get on board, the judging will be at Grumpys-Roseville again as it’s a great place with killer beer and food. We'll be doing a lot of the really cool stuff we always do...plus a few new angles. You'll be wined and dined like no other competition in the nation plus your standard commemorative beer and glass. We'll have lunchtime speakers, again, for your enjoyment. For Friday lunch, Steve Piatz talking all things sour. How to make them, what to expect, etc, etc. For Saturday lunch, Joe Formanek multi-multi-multi-award winning home brewer will give his own personal take on all things brewing and how to basically make kick ass beer. The massively popular Friday night Piss-up will be back and better than ever. Piss up Dirty dozen-style. Bring your wackest, dopest, dirty or funky commercial beers possible. Sour, risqué and so on. This is an ode to twelve years of craziness. There will be some stuff a lot of you guys have never tried before! As always, the ever awesome Cellar beer event will be the hallmark of the evening. We'll again be doing Al Boyce's fancy glassware for a swap-o-rama. Bring, trade, purchase cool glasses. Brand new this year: The Pour Choice award! This inaugural award will be given to the brewer of any gold medal winning beer that most embiggens all that is Pour Decisions Brewing Co. The winner will then be brewed at PDBC sometime in 2013! Finally, the banquet is always a great time. Last year we were full and seats, again, are sure to sell out quickly so get your tickets ASAP. You again get a commemorative glass, meal, beers and the debauchery that follows. So, what are the important dates? - Registration opens on 14 December. - Dropoff begins on 28 December. - Registration and dropoff end on 11 January. - The Mashout happens on 25 and 26 January. - The banquet happens the evening of the 26 January. So, just like the election, enter early and enter often! We cap out entries at 1,000 and we've hit that in previous years. See you there! The Mashout 2013 Organizers http://www.mashout.org

Both the 1.5 and 1.0 inch tri-clover fittings use the same clamps, the only difference is the inside diameter of the tubing. I use 1.5 inch fittings on my system but am using hoses with 0.5 inch inside diameter with the appropriate 1.5 inch flange and 0.5 inch hose barb, works just fine.

Take a look at these, they appear to the Brewers Resources ones that have minor weld issues that mean you can only use on the hot side. Brewers Resource (https://www.brewershardware.com/Tri-Clover-Fittings/) sells tri-clover parts though you can frequently find the stuff cheaper at places like Weldless Fittings (http://weldlessfittings.com/triclamp.html) http://www.ebay.com/itm/15-Gallon-Tri-Clover-Tri-Clamp-fitted-Mash-Tun-with- False-Bottom-1-inlet-/300805760094?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0 <http://www.ebay.com/itm/15-Gallon-Tri-Clover-Tri-Clamp-fitted-Mash-Tun-with -False-Bottom-1-inlet-/300805760094?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item46096ba45 e> &hash=item46096ba45e http://www.ebay.com/itm/15-Gallon-Tri-Clover-Tri-Clamp-fitted-Kettle-Hot-Liq uor-Tank-/300805760263?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0 <http://www.ebay.com/itm/15-Gallon-Tri-Clover-Tri-Clamp-fitted-Kettle-Hot-Li quor-Tank-/300805760263?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item46096ba507> &hash=item46096ba507 -- Steve Piatz sjpiatz(a)gmail.com -- Steve Piatz sjpiatz(a)gmail.com __._,_.___ <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mnbrewers/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJwZmtyMjdkBF9TAzk3M zU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI3NzgxMjcEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDQxODAyBG1zZ0lkAzUzNDAEc2VjA2Z0c gRzbGsDcnBseQRzdGltZQMxMzUxNzE5MjY4?act=reply&messageNum=5340> Reply via web post <mailto:sjpiatz@gmail.com?subject=Re%3A%2015%20gallon%20kettles> Reply to sender <mailto:mnbrewers@yahoogroups.com?subject=Re%3A%2015%20gallon%20kettles> Reply to group <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mnbrewers/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJlNGY5bWcxBF9TAzk3M zU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI3NzgxMjcEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDQxODAyBHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA250cGMEc 3RpbWUDMTM1MTcxOTI2OA--> Start a New Topic <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mnbrewers/message/5339;_ylc=X3oDMTM0ZnNrb2FyB F9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI3NzgxMjcEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDQxODAyBG1zZ0lkAzUzNDAEc 2VjA2Z0cgRzbGsDdnRwYwRzdGltZQMxMzUxNzE5MjY4BHRwY0lkAzUzMzk-> Messages in this topic (2) Recent Activity: . <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mnbrewers/members;_ylc=X3oDMTJmajlxYmM5BF9TAz k3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI3NzgxMjcEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDQxODAyBHNlYwN2dGwEc2xrA3ZtYn JzBHN0aW1lAzEzNTE3MTkyNjg-?o=6> New Members 1 <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mnbrewers;_ylc=X3oDMTJlMmQzM3QxBF9TAzk3MzU5Nz E0BGdycElkAzI3NzgxMjcEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDQxODAyBHNlYwN2dGwEc2xrA3ZnaHAEc3RpbW UDMTM1MTcxOTI2OA--> Visit Your Group <http://groups.yahoo.com/;_ylc=X3oDMTJkODBkMDRoBF9TAzk3NDc2NTkwBGdycElkAzI3N zgxMjcEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDQxODAyBHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA2dmcARzdGltZQMxMzUxNzE5MjY4> Image removed by sender.
