Re: SF 143 -help tracking down districts

by David H Berg

Well, I believe the brewpub section was removed from the bill. HF719 is also the Liquor Omnibus bill. If the house passed their version of the bill yesterday, and the senate passes their version of the bill (which includes the brewpub section) we're going to wind up in conference committee. Assuming we hammer out the differences and everything passes, it goes to the Governor to sign. I believe liquor laws usually take effect on Aug 1, but I may be mistaken.

RE: SF 143 -help tracking down districts

by Crist, Jonathan

According to the recorded roll call for the house HF719 (our brewpub bill) passed the house yesterday 112 yeas to 18 nays HEY DAVE BERG - what is next? If both house and senate have passed their bills, does it cycle around again as a blend of the two bills, or does it go to the governor to sign?

stir crazy

by Gregory Walsh

Rick: Stirring devices are ceramic coated (sterilisable) iron or magnetic shapes that you drop into the flask. The variable speed rotating magnet in the hot plate spins the shape. I get pretty good stirring in my flask by adding a few hop pellets to create attachment sites for the steam bubbles. Greg

Magnetic stirrer stirrer?

by Rick Oftel

Greetings beer fans and members. Rick here with a question about magnetic stirrers. I picked up (hasn't arrived yet) what appears to be a decent used unit on an E-bay auction and need some advise about operation and appropriate stirring devices. The device is a 9 inch Cole Palmer with a heating style top. I have a 2 liter Erlenmeyer flask and hope to supercharge my next yeast colony. What type of stirring device do I need? Where do I get one? Should I have some spares? How long or fast do I stir the mixture? Is the top heating surface appropriate for boiling a flask of wort? Thanks Rick Oftel

Fw: Swally's 40th B-Day Party, Saturday, May 3, 2:00pm to 11:59pmish (open house)

by Michael K Swalinkavich

Everyone is invited to stop my 40th B-Day Party, on Saturday, May 3, 2:00pm to 11:59pmish (open house). Yes, I know, it's the same day 2003 Upper Mississippi Mash-Out, but I wasn't able to reschedule it. I do have the party room for the whole day and night, so there might be time for people to squeeze my party in. We'll have 40 gallons of my homebrew on tap (7 different styles: Porter, Wheat, Cream Ale, American Pale Ale, Brown Ale, Belgian Ale and Raspberry Ale). If you want to bring homebrew, either keg or bottles, that would be cool : ) I have our clubs draft/jockey box and I'm currently building my own, so there should be a couple open taps for "guest" homebrews... There's a pool table, indoor pool, and locker room if anyone wants to swim. Extra chairs, appetizers and Gag gifts welcome, but not required. Directions: To Woodbury from St.Paul take Hwy.94 East to Radio Drive. Turn south (right) onto Radio and go one block to Old Hudson Rd. Take a right onto Old Hudson Rd. You'll pass by Tamerack Village, an animal hospital, a boat shop, and Heppner's car wash. Just past Heppners car wash there is a road to the left (Landau). Take a left onto Landau. Go up the hill. You'll pass one set of town houses on the left. The club house is at the top of the hill on the left. Any questions, let me know, Cheers!, Mike "Swally" Swalinkavich 651-714-2291

test

by Rick Oftel

Just a quick note that I have moved my mailbox from work to home and deleted "barn" message distribution to my work e-address. Please address future beverage related e-mails to my home address at mnbrewing(a)earthlink.net High priority messages can still be sent to my work address but the volume of mail has increased beyond my (and our I.S. department's) comfort zone. Thanks for your cooperation Rick Oftel
