Unfortunately, I'll be missing the campout this year..I think I've been to
everyone since that 'hot' one down south when we visited Minnesota Malting.
So, if anyone can bring some 'Jenga' wood, I'm sure it would be appreciated.
If you don't know what it is, it started with small cutoffs from my
workshop..relatively little pieces that people can use to build a Jenga
tower inside a burning fire. Yes, it's crazy!
Thanks!

Hey JABbers!
Some updates for the month:
1) We have scheduled the JAB family cookout for 9/15/13 (a Sunday) starting at noon. This will be in the usual spot at Rosemount thanks to Kent getting it saved for us. Thanks Kent! We will send out reminders later with directions, but save the date now so you and your family have no excuse for missing it! We usually have folks bring their own meat to grill and a side dish to share with the group. We will have the jockey box set up so you can bring kegs, or growlers or bottles of homebrew to share. I'm looking forward to the event again this year.
2) JAB member Tim Roets is busy brewing his Kolsch at Town Hall today and we will try to have a JAB event when they release it at the brewpub...more details in the future!
3) Lucid Brewer For A Day competition is now open for entries (I think the deadline is the 21st, so get going if you want to get some in.)
4) State Fair comp is coming up and registration opens July 19! Bring us some JAB brewcred!
5) Byggvir's Big Beer Cup is taking registration from July 27-Aug 11. As usual JAB will be helping to put this on and we will need judges and stewards to help out. Gera has had a lot on her plate recently and we really need to help out this year! Judging will be August 24-25 so leave your schedules free!
Hope everyone is having a good summer and brewing up some great beers!
--Eric
I've heard from Gera that she is waiting for approval of the poster and will
then update the web site.
Glad you joined the JAB mailing list, welcome!!!

To whom it may concern:
I just joined the mailing list... any chance you know anything about the
homebrew competition at Renfest MN 2013?
Thanks,
-Mike
Just curious - is anything happening with this competition for 2013? The
site is sadly out of date, and Renfest and Statefair are coming up soon...
This is pretty much my only opportunity to hang out with your club members.
Please let me know if this is still happening, and which weekend it might
be on if it's still scheduled.
Thanks!

Has anyone ever used the water from the Frederick Miller spring? It is an
artesian well in Eden Prairie. I saw it on Kare11 last night. I am just
wondering to know the quality of the water for brewing at home. My water
at home is so hard, I always need to add distilled to soften it up
Thanks
Erik Nelson
Quite a number of years ago I made a pale ale using Miller spring water, cut with a couple of gallons of distilled water. The beer was fine, choppy enough to cover any off flavor or aroma that may have been from the spring water.
I was also using it as drinking water. It was not too BSD at all regarding taste. However, I stopped using it because of some negative press regarding nitrate levels supposedly in the water.
If someone has had the water chemistry profile info, it would be very good to share with the group.
Cheers,
Steve
