Glad to see "Brooklyn" is on there. For those of you that weren't
employed by a bowling alley for the past six years, a "Brooklyn" strike
is when you hit the headpin on the wrong side, but still get a strike.

Subject: AHA Conference Update
Greetings homebrewers!
This is just a note to remind you about the upcoming American Homebrewers
Association National Homebrewers Conference. Thanks to homebrewers like
you, this is the largest turnout ever in the history of the event, with
nearly 400 full-time attendees, and still climbing. It's not too late to
sign up.
If you haven't checked out the schedule of speakers lately, you'll be
amazed at the quality and scope of the presentations. For complete
information on the conference, as well as online registration, go to:
http://www.chibeer.org/aha03/
For those of you who plan on coming, we'll be ready for you.
1. Bring your club spirit and your funny hats.
Many clubs are coming in full regalia for the festivities at Club Night,
and the club that puts on the best show will win a coveted trophy (see #6,
below).
2. The Wednesday night Pub Crawl is sold out.
Sorry, but we've had an overwhelming response to this, and we are limited
by occupancy limits on the bars we're visiting. FYI, may of these places
are accessible by "L" train, so you may have a chance later in the week to
sneak away and visit them on your own.
3. Bring us those stinkers!
Ed Bronson is conducting a session on Thursday entitled "Doctor Ed's House
of Bad Beer Horrors." The idea will be to have signs denoting specific off-
flavors like "diacetyl," "DMS," and "wax lips." Beers that have the
designated flaw will be placed at each station, and attendees can try them
at their leisure. Anybody who has unidentified bad bad beers can bring
them, too, and they'll be categorized by an expert at the event when they
are opened.
Unless you want the ridicule, the beers will all be anonymous. Just mark
the bottle with the name of the flaw, or mark it "Unknown," and bring it
with you to the conference.
As far as quantity, a six-pack would be optimum, but if you just have one
or two bottles, this will work as well.
Thanks in advance for helping make this a truly awful event!
4. AleWives on Wheels
For those AleWives and/or Significant Others attending the conference, the
local Chicagoland Alewives have organized a day in downtown Chicago for
those so inclined on Friday, June 20. There is no cost for those with guest
packages or full conference registrations, but the meals are pay as you go.
We will meet for breakfast in conference hotel restaurant, the Metro
Grille, at 8:30 AM, where participants will receive a packet of maps and
other info on entertainment options for a day in downtown Chicago,
including information/locations/schedules for:
Navy Pier - #1 tourist destination in Chicago
The Art Institute of Chicago
Terra Museum of American Art
Museum of Contemporary Art of Chicago
Art/Craft Festival on Michigan Avenue
Shopping (including discount outlets) on the Magnificent Mile
Architecture and/or General Narrated boat tours of the Chicago River/Lake
Michigan
Double-decker bus tours of downtown Chicago
Architecture Walking Tour of the Magnificent Mile
Bar/restaurant recommendations for lunch/tea/libations
Movie Theater locations/showtimes
Our chartered bus will leave for the Mag Mile at 9:30 AM and pick us up at
3:30 PM for return to the hotel, arriving approximately 4:30 PM. There will
be beer on the bus.
You will need to sign up for this event, either by emailing Nancy Cline at
nnjjccc(a)yahoo.com or using the signup sheet near the registration table at
the conference.
5. The Chicago Beer Society will be presenting "Le Pissoir d'Or," an award
for the club that brings the most beer to the conference. Kegs stashed in
the reefer truck will be tallied as they are stored. Details of how to
tally the rest of your beer will be posted near the registration booth at
the conference.
6. Urban Knaves of Grain sponsored award: "Big Al's Memorial Trophy"
This is a prize for the best overall Club Night presentation (beer, food
and other - like costumes, etc), as voted by attendees. Try to personalize
your space as much as possible. Club members dressing up in a certain
fashion is also an idea. Votes will be tallied, and the winner will be
announced at the "Windy City Big Boys'" Hospitality Room immediately after
the event. To keep up a great Chicago tradition, "vote early and often!"
Bribery is also recommended (^8~.
7. Real Beer Real Food.
This is shaping up as a really enjoyable evening, but it's not too late for
more food exhibitors. So if you know sausage shops, cheesemakers, or any
other craft food producers, we still have room for more. This is a sweet
deal for exhibitors, as all we're looking for is a little donated food.
We're also very flexible about the kind of participation. For more
information, you can download a Fact Sheet on web site, at:
http://www.chibeer.org/aha03/beerfood.html (at the bottom of the page). You
can also email: randymosher(a)rcn.com for more information or to suggest
exhibitors.
8. Volunteers Wanted!
We have a need for some people to help set up some of the afternoon talks
and evening session on Saturday, and perhaps a little errand-running on
Friday and Saturday. Email: randymosher(a)rcn.com if you think you'd be able
to help out.
We hope see you there!
Your pals at BOSS, CBS, and UKG.
>From our friends in Madison:
The remote probe temp/timers are very slick, well worth the $16.
Beer fests looke great.
Cheers,
Jim

Subject: [madbrewers] Homebrewing Temp/Timer/Alarm
Brewers:
Do you get those Bed Bath & Beyond 20% off mailers monthly? You probably do if
you own a home. Here's what to use it on. They sell a Pyrex brand digital
combination timer and temprature probe for $20. With your 20% off it's only
$16. I have another, older, one of these by another company but the Pyrex is
improved. The hard metal probe is longer and the primary design flaw of
earlier ones has been somewhat addressed. These things tend to stop working if
the metallic cord connecting the probe to the unit submerges for x period of
time (or so I've heard). This Pyrex thermo has a teflon tube shrink wrapped
onto the cord and crimped into the probe.
The display tilts up so you can see it if you lay it flat on a workbench and it
has magnets on the back of it so you can sitck it on vertical steel surfaces
like the legs of your king cooker.
Bill

Hey, Jeff--
In a possibly related note, the following is from the issue of the "Global Beer
Network" (Belgian beer importers) newsletter I got in the post the other day.
It was describing the 17th century in the Low Countries, where mothers fed beer
to their young children from vessels shaped like breasts, where even small
cities had 10 or more breweries, and average consumption was about a half-gallon
daily. It was also the primary source of tax revenue, sometimes amounting to
70% of revenues (i.e., 70% of the budget, not that the beer tax was 70%):
"Drinking beer was looked upon as performing a good deed. The more you drank
the better citizen you became, since you sponsored all the social
responsibilities and the defence expenses of the cities. It looks like we are
again going the same way in the USA, where almost all States, many counties, and
communalities are looking to add or impose more taxes on beer. Pretty soon, we,
the US beer drinkers, will be honoured as social heroes."

Linda and I were out for lunch at Jamerica Sat. afternoon and met Martin the
owner of said restuarant
and just asked if he could cater to 400 plus people. He said that he could
and at $8.50 a head. The meal
would include some kind of jerk,rice and beans and stir fry. The meal we had
was a bit salty but very flavorful
and plentyful. I said I would contact someone from the club and pass info
along. Gail, if interested, here is an email

Hey everyone.
Just wanted to let you know that the shirts should be
shipped today (Monday 06/09). Coming from St. Louis,
they should be here in time for actual bowling on
Thursday at Bryant Lake Bowl (contact Kris England for
details)! So everyone cross there fingers except for
Kris, since his eyes are already crossed.
If you can't make it to the Bowling/Meeting on
Thursday (Shame!), and are not going to Chicago
(Double Shame!!), let me know so we can make
arrangements to get you your shirt.
Pete

For those planning a bowling-based theme for beers or food or whatever
for the AHA Conference events in Chicago here are some bowling terms
from the book "How To Talk Bowling" by Dawson Taylor. Some how or the
other we picked up this book from the library's discard pile. I have
to say I haven't heard of some of these. Let's see some good names for
our beer/food/etc.
I might have to bring the book along on the bus just for humor.
Lots of stuff to work with here. How did we get on this bowling theme???

Swally and other campers:
I talked to Marcia (my contact with the city of Mankato) this morning. She said that if you arrive at the campground earlier than the posted time, the gates are open anyway, and you can go in and find a site, and you will eventually hook-up with a ranger.
She also said that they have been experiencing higher than normal occupancy, so the earlier you can get there, the better. She said that if some members of the group arrive early, we can stake out some extra sites for others that we know will be arriving later.
I will be heading to Mankato on Friday morning. I look forward to seeing you there.
Dave
Hi Rick,
What's the earliest we can check in at the camp out?
I have that Friday off and I plan on going down there really early and
trying some fishing someplace and then going to campout. By the way, I
plan on bringing my draft box if anyone is bringing kegs...
Cheers!,
Mike
