Thank you, and apologies to anyone who might receive multiple copies of this email through various sources!
I am wondering has anyone used the reverse osmosis water from the grocery
stores? I am wondering on the quality. My area has so hard water so I am
weighing the options to soften it instead of my hard water.
Thanks

Hey JABbers!
A couple things:
1) Next meeting is at my place 1966 Fountain Lane in Waconia on August 9 at 6:30. No theme this week, but feel free to bring some homebrews! I should have the first JAB barrel project (JAB de Garde) on tap by then for everyone to try as well as last year's group brew in bottles!
2) Get working on your JAB yeast experiment for the September meeting!
3) Message from Karie at Enki (please contact her if you can help them out!)
I have some interesting news for you! For the first time, the Carver County Fair will be serving a local craft brewery in the beer garden — ENKI BEERS, to be specific! What does that mean? We're going to need volunteers and help around both the fairgrounds, as well as, tap room. The fair runs from August 7th – 11th and we need someone there to oversee our station from 10:30 am to midnight. We don't need someone to physically pour the beer, but just represent the brewery and be a knowledgeable face for ENKI. In addition, our tap room will need staffing, also. We specifically need help in the tap room on Saturday evenings, 5-9 or 6-10'ish.
Thank you.

> Howdy folks. Well it’s time for another “cellar update”. Things have really been cracking around here. As soon as the weather started to shape up, the pace intensified to get the first four fermentation vessels installed, fitted and programmed by the second week of June. (We missed our original deadline by one week!!) Consequently, we had about thirty people representing five different trades trying to work in the same area. Then throw in a couple of Germans who are responsible for training and programming. Yikes. And the painters were the ones to really feel the squeeze.

Crafting a Nation Documentary & Better Beer Society announce Minnesota Premiere on Saturday July 27th, 2013.Crafting a Nation, a documentary on American craft beer and the economic revitalization of small business, will hold its Minneapolis public debut on July 27th, 2013, in a double screening at 11:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. at "BBS Certified" establishment Bryant Lake Bowl at 810 W. Lake Street, Minneapolis. Entertainment and a Q&A with filmmakers and special guests will follow, as well as a bowling party will follow at 4:00 p.m.
In addition, there will be with a special beer & brunch menu featuring local and regional breweries featured in the movie. Tickets will be on sale atwww.bryantlakebowl.com for $10 per ticket, beer & brunch will be sold separately.
The screenings are presented by the Better Beer Society,www.betterbeersociety.com, a Twin Cities based organization dedicated to the education, growth and awareness of craft beer.

For more info on the Better Beer Society, please contact Rob Shellman at: rob(a)betterbeersociety.com
Crafting A Nation, a documentary filmed by Free Mind Productions, from Denver, CO, covers economic recovery and the American Dream via the booming craft beer industry. The film visits craft breweries in 15 locations, along with following a new Colorado brewery from idea to grand opening. The movie shows these breweries as they finish construction, launch their brands, and open to the public, and focuses on the struggles and triumphs of small business owners. Crafting A Nation tells stories of local economies, where a brewery serves as a catalyst to a chain reaction which occurs from breweries revitalizing a section of a city and providing jobs, and the resulting domino effect that follows with other small businesses that work together to succeed as a result of the brewery.
