When the club web pages were transferred from my web site to the mnbrewers.com server, the MN Brewfest Recipes were lost in the hand off. A bunch of us have been bemoaning the loss ever since. After recently digging around in an old mail archive, I unearthed the original messages. Unfortunately, the HTML formatted versions I made are gone, but we have the recipes and I'm forwarding them to the list. Perhaps, someone can organize them and format them and we can post them again on the club web site. If anyone starts this, broadcast to the rest of the list, so we don't have any duplicate effort. It'll also take some work figuring out what year each recipe came from, since it is not always clear in the message. <geek> Maybe there is an XML grammer for homebrew recipes we can use to mark up the recipes. We can then use CSS for the display on the web site.</geek> Enjoy. -- -- Michael Valentiner, Minneapolis, Minnesota mpv(a)yuck.net

Calendar Question

by Rick Oftel

Has anyone found a decent "beer related" calendar that includes date boxes with space for notes? Our homebrew stores don't stock them. I received a really nice version from Whitelabs but need some space to jot down notes.

Next WestSide Meeting (1/23) @ WindRiver

by Will Holway

Hi, Due to the fact that 2/3 of the brewpub rotation no longer exist (Sherlock's and Water Tower "Brewing"), the next WestSide meeting will begin at WindRiver. However, some homebrewer(s) have offered to potentially allow for a short visit to their brewery. So, the plan is to meet @ WindRiver and if things work out we will go on a field trip. If such is the case, I can leave directions at the store for any stragglers. You can find a map to WindRiver at http://www.windriverbrew.com/image/map.gif __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

Even more Brew-a-rama's

by Rick Oftel

Hey folks, If you don't have enough on your plate for this week-end, here is some more stuff. Yep, that's right - more stuff. This Sunday, the St. Paul Homebrewers are brewing an obnoxiously large batch of Oatmeal stout. Why do I call it obnoxious? Well, you'll just have to go there and see for your self. They have this really large brew kettle that they fill almost to the brim. Personally I think it is a homebrewery on steroids but if I only had a larger kettle............ So here is the rest of their announcement. Sunday Sunday Sunday!!! The St. Paul Homebrewers are doing a Big Brew session. The fun starts at 8:30 AM sharp and we should be done around 4. (NOTE: they brew much slower in St. Paul!) We're brewing an Oatmeal Stout, so bringing commercial examples of that style can have it's advantages. Also the San Fran / Tampa Bay game is on at 1. Other good things to bring for those that are showing up, stopping by or dropping in are: * homebrew (commercial beers are also fine) * snacks * a chair (Scott has some, but if it's busy...) * whatever else you can think of Directions to Scott's are as follows: 1335 Bradley St. St. Paul MN No matter where you're coming from, this is the easiest way to get there. Take 94 to 35E North. Take the Maryland Avenue exit and go East (right). Go about 5 blocks to Burr (just at the base of a hill you'll be approaching). Go North (left). Go two block to Ivy and go East (right). Go one block to Bradley and go North (left). We're the second house on the left (a big barn-shaped house with a fence). The garage is around back. It's actually in the middle of the block between Burr and Bradley on Ivy to your left.

A beer a day...

by SAINTCROIX＠aol.com

from the associated press today: (Jan 9) -- As little as half an alcoholic drink a day can reduce the risk of heart attacks, whether the beverage of choice is beer, red wine, white wine or liquor, new research shows. Scientists have known that drinking can prevent heart attacks, but the study suggests that how often you imbibe is a lot more important than what or how much. Whether you drink with your meal or at some other time also appears irrelevant. ``It was a surprise that - almost regardless of other factors associated with drinking - frequency of use seemed to be what reduced the subsequent risk of a heart attack,'' said Dr. Kenneth Mukamal of Harvard University Medical School, who led the study. Those who drank at least three days a week had about one-third fewer heart attacks than did nondrinkers. And it made almost no difference whether the drinking consisted of half a drink or four. Those who imbibed only once or twice a week had only a 16 percent lower risk of a heart attack. Some studies have indicated that alcohol raises the level of ``good'' cholesterol and also thins the blood, warding off the clots that cause heart attacks. But alcohol breaks down fairly rapidly in the body and its effects on red blood cells are short-lived, according to Mukamal. Mukamal speculated that regular, moderate drinking is beneficial because it helps keep the blood thinned. ``We think it may be much like people who take aspirin every day or every other day. A little bit of alcohol on a regular basis helps keep the platelets from becoming sticky and prevents heart attacks,'' he said. He noted that other studies have found that people with a gene that keeps alcohol longer in their system seem to benefit the most from moderate drinking. ``That helps reinforce the notion that maintaining a low level of exposure is the way to go,'' he said. The study was published in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine. Mukamal and other doctors emphasized that the study applies only to moderate drinkers. The dangers of heavy drinking are well-established and include alcoholism, drunken driving, and damage to the liver and brain. Studies have also found that women who have two or more drinks a day are 41 percent more likely to develop breast cancer than women who do not drink. ``I don't think any doctor would advise a patient to start drinking to prevent heart disease,'' said Dr. Gary Francis, director of the coronary intensive care unit at the Cleveland Clinic. ``We all, both the media and physicians who see patients, need to be careful that this isn't construed as a license to drink heavily. Certainly we don't want to exchange one public health problem for another.'' Mukamal and every other doctor interviewed for comment emphasized that people should talk to their physicians about drinking. Doctors have long believed that red wine explains the so-called French Paradox - the fact that the French have fewer heart attacks than Americans even though their food is richer. But the new study adds to the evidence that it is the alcohol itself, and not something found only in red wine, such as red pigment, that is good for the heart. Mukamal analyzed data from Harvard's long-term Health Professionals Follow-Up Study, which involved 51,529 male health professionals - doctors, osteopaths, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists and veterinarians. He looked at 38,077 of them, eliminating people who had stopped drinking within the previous 10 years and those with histories of cancer and diseases of the heart or blood vessels. The study is funded by the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Lynn Smaha, a cardiologist in Sayre, Pa., and a past president of the American Heart Association, said the study leaves some important questions unanswered. Among them: whether it would apply to a wider group than health professionals, who may take better care of themselves than the average drinker. Smaha also noted that the overall rate of heart attacks - 1,418 cases out of 38,000 people - was very low, for reasons that were not clear.

Fw: Judging for March Mashness

by Al Boyce

Cloudy Town Homebrewers are again sponsoring their March Mashness competition. If you are interested in helping them to judge, contact Darin Dorholt at itsusfolks(a)aol.com. It's a fun time, and a great competition! Let's give them a hand - especially all you BJCP students! It will be GREAT practice for the exam! - Al ----- Original Message ----- From: Itsusfolks(a)aol.com To: alboyce(a)bigfoot.com Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 5:26 PM Subject: Judging for March Mashness Al, The dates for the first round judging will be March 15 and 16th in St. Cloud. Probably the Ramada again, but not sure of the exact location. Who would you recommend I contact about judging? Eric has always done this, I am not exactly sure what to do. Is there a way we can contact a bunch of people from a club? I have the sheet from the BJCP, but I was hoping I could find a quicker way to contact. Sorry it took me so long to get this back to you, it has been a wild ride to finish out 2002 and start 2003. Darin
