Fw: Midwest Region AHA Preliminaries - WE NEED MINNESOTA!

by allan.boyce＠usbank.com

The Midwest Region Preliminaries for the AHA National Homebrew competition is coming up quickly - WE NEED MINNESOTA'S HELP! http://www.mnbrewers.com/events/nhc/ THIS IS YOUR REGION! We need Judges, Stewards and volunteers from all nine states (North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, and Wisconsin) to make it happen! So far, we have 2 from KS, 2 from MO, 3 from ND, 1 from WI and 28 from MN (none from NE, SD, IA or OK). WE NEED MORE JUDGES! We have about 36 volunteers right now, but 70 would make things go really smoothly. We need your help! Please talk to your club members, homebrew friends and fellow judges, and convince them to help us with the contest. We still have 2 weeks, so we could make our goal. We would LIKE to have people signed up by April 22, but we will accept judges at the door if they won't know until that late whether they can help or not. Email Steve Piatz at piatz(a)cray.com if you have recruited someone but they are shy to register online. http://www.mnbrewers.com/events/nhc/ SIGN UP FOR MORE SESSIONS If you have only signed up for 1 or 2 sessions - THANK YOU! If you could help us out with more, or all of them, contact Steve Piatz at piatz(a)cray.com . He will add them to your registration in the database (no need to sign up again.) Consider taking Friday the 29th off from work to help us out! HOTEL BLOCK EXPIRES TOMORROW! If you need a hotel room, the room block expires TOMORROW, APRIL 15 at the Super 8 on Prior Avenue (see below). Call today or tomorrow to reserve your room, if you want to take advantage of the "official" hotel of the competition. That's probably where all your friends will be! AWARDS BANQUET RESERVATIONS NEEDED Rick Oftel is cooking up something wonderful for the Awards Banquet on Saturday night after judging. The cost will be less than $10, and we will collect at the event, but we need to know how many we're cooking for. If you could email Curt Stock with your intentions whether you intend to join us or not, that would help a lot!

RE: Emeril and Beer

by Rick Oftel

You know that this sounds interesting. If anyone has cable and would be willing to tape the show, I would gladly try to duplicate some of it. I don't think we have the facilities to make good fish and chips but the Guinness Ice Cream with Dark Chocolate Honey Sauce sounds like a exceptional creation. The only thing missing is a double chocolate brownie under the ice cream! I wonder if they have a soft serve ice cream machine at the hall? Hmmmmmmm.......

I don't think the wiring is correct in my setup to tape from cable, but the Emeril show does post their recipes on their website once the show airs: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_em Once the show airs, go to the "RECENT EPISODES" section in the middle of the page, and click on the show for which you want to see the recipes. - Al PS - I was just kidding about using Emeril's recipe at the contest Rick, but I know how you rise to a challenge! ;-D Original Message: ----------------- From: Rick Oftel Rick.Oftel(a)toro.com Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2005 10:22:05 -0500 To: mba(a)thebarn.com Subject: RE: Emeril and Beer You know that this sounds interesting.

Congrats Mike Behrendt!

by allan.boyce＠usbank.com

CONGRATULATIONS to Mike Behrendt, whose Ordinary Bitter won the blue ribbon in the MhBA club championship for Extract Beers last night. Mike's beer will go on to represent the MhBA in the AHA National Club-Only competition. Also, thanks to the other brewers who brought beers - Jim Voosen, Steve Piatz, Paul Dienhart and Al Boyce. The next Club-Only competition is Belgian and French Ales, BJCP Category 16. The MhBA will pick our club champion for that beer on Tuesday, Aug 2. Let's start brewing! - Al ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Electronic Privacy Notice.

A call for articles for the Boiler

by John Longballa

Folks-- I know that there's something you've been wanting to say to the public concerning brewing and beer, and I'm asking, nay, begging you to come forward. The Minnesota Home Brewers Association is serious about publishing brewing and beer news each month, whether in hard copy or electronically, and we need contributions--from you! Please don't think that your news is too basic, too boring, or too well-known; someone will be interested in what you have to say! If each member wrote one article of one hundred words each year, we would fill the Boiler each and every time! Perhaps you've got equipment to sell. Maybe you're dying to review a great beer bar. It could be that you just want to sound off about passing legislation that would allow five-gallon kegs to be filled at brewpubs. Whatever you have to say, we want it! Please send your contributions to John Longballa at jlongb(a)ties2.net. I will gently edit them and send them to the Boilermaker, Al Boyce, who will lay them out and publish them. Then sit back, enjoy seeing your name in print, and await the kudos that roll in from folks who were truly interested in reading what you wrote. It's that simple, so please don't delay--operators are standing by, awaiting your submissions. Thanks much, John
