Meadmakers take note! //Mike Behrendt From: mba-bounces(a)thebarn.com [mailto:mba-bounces@thebarn.com] On Behalf Of Rick Oftel Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2013 11:04 AM To: mba(a)thebarn.com Subject: [mba] Bucket-O-Honey Greetings brewers and mead makers. We have an opportunity to acquire a decent quantity of honey at a reasonable price and thought it might help some of you make a batch or two (or three) of mead. Dave Schroeder is former president of the MHBA (Minnesota Hobby Beekeepers Association) and has honey available in 5 gallon buckets (60 pounds). He will sell honey to us for $120 per five gallons or approximately $24 per gallon. Ive used his honey before and know it is high quality. Dave is selling his honey rapidly and will likely be out of stock by early February. Im not trying to rush or use force but I really enjoy making mead. You should too. To keep this a low effort project here is how to proceed. 1. Decide you want a bucket or two 2. Send me a check by January 15 to the address below. 3. Make the check for $120 out to Dave Schroeder. 4. Include phone or e-mail address for pickup confirmation. 5. If you want 1/3 bucket or ½ bucket, buy a bucket and find someone willing to share. Any other questions, call or e-mail The Fine print: I will exchange your check for the honey and will keep it inside until you arrange for pick up. I am not able to front you for your bucket-o-honey. Im terribly sorry but I dont tweet, twit, text, or accept pay-pal. I do not have the ability to split buckets. I cannot read your mind. If you want a bucket, send me a check. Sincerely, Rick Oftel MHBA Previous officer and general nice guy. Mailing address: Rick Oftel 6400 Mildred Ave S.

BYO subscriptions

by Steven Mathistad

It is time to renew your "Brew Your Own" magazine subscription. We currently only have 4 people signed up for the BYO subscription. We need at least 6 more in order to get the deal. June 1st is the deadline, but we could probably let it slide a few days. Let me know as soon as you can if you want to renew or start a subscription. Here are a few more details: BYO is running a homebrew club subscription sales program. The subscription cost is $33. This will allow you to receive a paper copy of the magazine as well as a digital version delivered to you email address. JAB gets to keep half of your subscription cost ($16.50). The club needs at least 10 people to renew or start a subscription. Each person, pays the club $33. Then the club will pay the combined subscription cost to BYO for all 10 (or more) people. If you have any questions, please let me know. --Steven

Fwd: Lagunitas Brewing Company - MN Homebrew Competition - 2013

by Ben Ducklow

Hey fellow JAB'ers, I just wanted to let you know we were in the unlucky group for this one. Unfortunately no one from the club was a winner, but I think it was awesome we at least participated. I also know we had fun sampling and picking our club winner. Maybe next time! See below for a snippet of the winner and the additional people drawn for the trip. Maybe you know one of them ;) Thanks and see ya'll in June for our next meeting! -Ben ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Begin forwarded message: Hey all! I want to throw out a special "THANK YOU" to all of the clubs who participated in this and ALL the members who threw their hat in the ring to make things happen! We have our winning homebrewer (chosen by the panel of judges) so a big Congratulations to....... PETER SKOLD! Then, I drew one name from all the homebrewers from all the clubs in the Minn/St. Paul area and so congratulations to...... DANIEL HERMAN! Then, I drew 2 names from our panel of Retailer judges and so, to round out the MN Brewing team we congratulate...... PAT DWYER from Grumpy's NE! JEFFREY HOADLEY from Pizza Luce, St. Paul! These guys make up the Brewing Team that will travel to CA on May 29th to brew a special beer for your market. They will work with our Head Brewer Jeremy Marshall in formulating the recipe. As I stated in the initial letter to invite you to participate, we will not necessarily brew the winning homebrewer's beer but it will be their ticket in to fly out to our Petaluma brewery. We MAY brew a beer with similarities, but I leave all that up to the professionals! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Tour de Ruins Saturday

by MGBREW

Saturday Trenk will be showing us the historic Shakopee Brewery site starting at 10am. 11086 Chaparral Ave Shakopee‎ MN‎ 55379 It's across from the Shakopee Town Center strip mall where GNC is.....used to be KMart. When you cross the railroad tracks, park along the right side of the road and walk back a bit to Trenk's place. Trenk is working on restoring the site.....here's a bit of info. If anyone feels like they can help us fill a dumpster with brewery debris or with salvaging lumber, bring work gloves is all they'd need. Bring brews to taste or bring your setup and do outdoor brewing with our limestone springwater. Cheers! Trenk
