Original Message: ----------------- From: Susan Ruud Susan.Ruud(a)ndsu.nodak.edu Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2005 15:02:59 -0600 To: mnbrewers(a)yahoogroups.com, sphbc(a)sphbc.org, ctb-club(a)yahoogroups.com, phc-club(a)yahoogroups.com Subject: [mnbrewers] Fw: Campout Booked <html><body> <tt> Hi Everyone, Well, we have finally decided on a location for the Summer Campout - as there were as many people who did not want it at the Summer Sizzler as did we decided to let those who wanted to attend the Sizzler attend and go the opposite direction for the campout and go more rustic. We have chosen the Nushka Group Campsite near Cass Lake in the Chipawa National Forest. This is a beautiful location. Unfortunately it does not have showers but does have a very clean lake in place of showers, large fairly clean vaulted toilets and picnic shelters and tons of scenery. We have both sites of the Nushka Group Campground for 2 evenings starting Friday August 5th for the Summer All Club Campout. The charge will be about $10/person for the weekend depending on the number of people in attendance. This is a good deal for camping no matter how you look at it. This is also National Mead Day weekend so plan on bringing your kettles and brew up a good batch of Mead. I have made mead while camping 2 different years and they have both turned out well. It is fairly easy to do. We will register the site as an official Mead site on the AHA website. It would be great to get a ton of mead made there - if so I will do a write-up and try to get it into Zymurgy (at least I will submit it). For location, I have attached a document with the info on this place, complete with directions for everyone. Tom did call the park office and they confirmed that campers and trailers are welcome. Also, note that the checking time is 2:00 and checkout is 1:00. We will likely call closer to the date to see if they mind us checking in early (if we want to). If anyone has any concerns or questions let me know. (See attached file: Nushka Group Campground.doc) Summer still seems so far away while looking out the window at snow but it will soon be here so put this can't miss event on your calendars!!

Just when you thought it couldn't get any better

by Rick Oftel

Guys and Gals of the MHBA Just when you never thought it could get any better well, here is an offer you can't resist (hopefully). The Big Brew Day is on May 7th. I can't invite the pub crawl to take a detour but you can consider stopping by and helping with the festivities. As a long time member of the MHBA, I was asked to assist with the daily duties. What does this mean? Good question winer. It means that what ever the big brew style is, it's going to be a brewing at Garden View and the brewing will be in full swing at noon. What else? Well, you may also wish to also brew during the time of the national homebrew celebration and you are more than welcome to bring kettles, tanks, yeast, hops and all of that stuff needed to brew more beer. I do have three outside garden hoses for cooling and if you turn them off when done, everyone will be happy. What in it for me? Boy, the questions are really getting tough folks!! The Garden View BBQ will be ready to rock and roll. I won't be able to cook and brew but the grill will have a full tank of propane and will be equipped with tools and things. Bring a dish to cook or a dish to share. Minnesota style. What if I get thirsty? There may be a few beers available for sampling. Rumor has it the club cooler may be making an appearance. Bring samples to share just like any festival. What if it rains. An old biker had a wise saying about bikes and rain. It is very similar to these words of wit. "If it rains, you either stay outside and get wet or you go inside. You can't drink beer in the rain." So that's about all that's fit to print. Let me know in advance if you need help, assistance, etc. This will be the MHBA May meeting so let's get ready to rock and roll. I could use a little assistance. Sincerely, Rick OF MHBA Member at Large

The offer was posted for Friday and Saturday nights April 29-30, 2005 but depending how far they have to drive this may include Thursday April 28th. If you have a spare bed or two and can host a judge, please let me know. So far we have one inquiry asking for a bed for all 3 nights. Please respond to cristj(a)bsci.com <mailto:cristj@bsci.com> THANKS Jonathan
