I called Inver Grove Heights and was able to obtain the needed values. I have
updated the word document and attached it to this e-mail.
I also used Promash to calc the values for Ca & Mg from the hardness, let me
know if they seem out of line or I did something wrong. Strangely, I
calced the
Alkalinity using promash (input values were Hardness and pH) and the
values were
way off from what was given to me by the city.
Please update your city if you have reliable sources. Then mail back to the
clubs. I will post this on sphbc.org soon.
Thanks for the info guys!

Sorry about the empty message that happened moments ago.
That was just to get your attention and to build
anticipation!
The bus is gassed and waiting . . .
The comfy hotel rooms are clean and booked . . .
The 9(?!) Wisconsin brewpubs are notified, and they await
us, tap handles firmly in hand . . .
All that's left is for you to get on board the Beer Good Bus
Tour II!
The tentative itinerary looks like this:
6:00 AM, Saturday, October 8th, leave Saint Paul on a luxury
bus complete with bathrooms.
6:01 Commence with people's choice competition for the
second-ever rolling beer competition.
9:00 Visit brand new Marshfield brewpub
10:00 View road-trip film on bus: American Beer
12:30-3:00 eat lunch at Hinterland Brewpub in Green Bay
(Titletown Brewpub is ACROSS the STREET!!)
3:30 enjoy Legends Brewpub in De Pere
5:30 enjoy Rowland's Brewpub in Chilon
6:30 thumb noses at Briess Malting, who will not allow us
to stop for a tour
7:00 dinner at Stone Cellar Brewpub in Appleton
??? crash hard at the Super 8 in Oshkosh
Sunday, October 9th
All day--avoid crazy Packer fans
11:00 lunch/breakfast at Fox River Brewpub in Oshkosh
3:00 tour Sand Creek microbrewery in Black River Falls
5:00 dinner at Northwoods Brewpub in Eau Claire
7:00 tumble out of bus in Saint Paul
The cost of the bus is around $50 per person, and if we get
more than 30 people, the cost goes down.
The Super 8 is non-smoking rooms with two double beds for
$66 (price should drop when I get ahold of the right
manager!) per room.
Other costs--depends on how much sampling you do at
nine(?!?) different establishments!
You don't want to miss this trip! We'll be talking about it
for years. To book, please e-mail me at jlongb(a)ties2.net,
or call me at 651.292.9693 to reserve your spot. Please
send me a non-refundable (unless the whole trip is
cancelled) deposit of $50 per person (payable to John
Longballa) so that I know who's really going. Many spouses
are coming along, so assure your non-brewing others that
they will have non-dorks to talk to!
Priority will be given to those who have responded to
previous messages (assuming I get their money quickly), but
there should be plenty of room for all!
Thanks for you interest in this trip, and please e-mail or
call me with any questions.
See you on the bus!
John
Hi,
We will be having our last West Side Meeting at 7:00
pm at WindRiver Brewing. It is the last meeting
because the WindRiver Retail store will be re-locating
to WI, and we will focus on mail order at that time.
However, we are planning to offer discounted shipping
to all of our in town customers.
Cheers
WH

Well, all of Sep is booked. Oct 1 is GABF, Oct 15 is Whistle Stop
Brewfest in Ashland. It's the 8th or not at all this year. Believe me,
after all I've been through this year, it wouldn't hurt my feeling to
cancel it.

Greetings!
I know a lot of folks are anxious about the Autumn Brew Review this year,
probably none greater than myself. We've had an incredibly tough,
complicated year of planning, and still are running into problems.
In addition to being dropped by our co-sponsor, they also scheduled the
Blubber Run against our event. Next we found out that Peavey is booked
by Orchestra Hall on Sep 10. We are currently looking at alternative
venues/dates. Oct 8 is looking promising.
So much for the bad news. The good news is the ABR will happen. Tickets
will be handled differently this year now that the Guild is back fully in
charge. We will be using Ticketworks (like we did the first year), so
tickets will be mailed to you in advance (up to 10 days prior to the
event). This should alleviate problems at will call. We've got some new
breweries attending and a different glass style (the previous were fine,
but not for 4 years in a row!)
I'll let everyone know when tickets finally go on sale--should be any day
now. We need everyone's help spreading the word about the festival.
While it is nice being fully in control of the festival, the financial
aspect is quite daunting. I've said it a couple of times already this
year, and it bears repeating--this will either be the best ABR ever, or
the last. Hopefully it is the former.
Cheers!

Another Brewery in Minneapolis!! Woo hoo!

Hello beer lovers!
Here is your first email from Surly Brewing Company!
Good news: The brewery showed up and is now in our building. We got our
hands on a 30 BBl Sprinkman system (that's 60 kegs brewed at once) that'll
be fired up in the very near future.
Currently, we're meeting with contractors and working madly to get brewing
as soon as possible. Our start date? Good question. We'll tell you when we
know.
We're shooting to have beer at the Twin Cities Autumn Beer Review, which is
the first week in Spetmeber in downtown Minneapolis.
I'm Omar Ansari, owner/president of Surly. I've been homebrewing since 1993,
when my then-girlfriend gave me a homebrew kit. "Just what I need - another
hobby," I thought. They say give a man a beer and he wastes an hour; teach a
man to brew, and he wastes a lifetime. And I'm well on my way.
Curious beer lovers have been emailing, wondering how things are going.
Well, my wife and I added two cute boys to our household in the last six
weeks. Needless to say, that slowed our brewery opening slightly. Three boys
under the age of three - good thing there'll be plenty of beer around.
Todd Haug, Surly's head beer maker, has been brewing since he was 19. After
brewing at Summit and being the brew head at Rock Bottom, Todd has a great
deal of expereince and beer knowledge. Further, he looks like one of the
Hanson brothers when wearing his cool safety specs. Todd enjoys to rock, and
he also likes goats.
And here's the best news of all: The brewery will have a tasting room, and
we hope to have beers available for visitors in the near future.
Well, that's all for now. We're hard at work at our first yummy beer, which
we promise will be damn tasty.
More soon!
