Subject: [SPHBC] Faulty e-mail address for seller
Gentlemen and ladies -
I gave the wrong e-mail address to you folks last night for my
coworker who is selling his brewing equipment. Please get in touch with
Brian at: bbosveld(a)securecomputing.com. I have already forwarded Jeff, Joe,
and Greg's e-mails to Brian.
Just to be clear, don't e-mail me if you want his kit; my e-mail is going to
be spotty at best in the next few days.
-Drew, who needs to take better notes before he goes home.

Subject: [SPHBC] AG brewer selling his things here in the Cities.
A friend of mine from work, Brian Bosweld, is getting out of the homebrew
hobby. He's been brewing for some time with a pretty nice rig...but wants
to get rid of it, and would prefer to sell it to local homebrewers. So
here's a list of what he has, and what he'd like for it. I also have
pictures of all of it, but I'm having some problems with sending the
pictures home through the corporate e-mail system. But if you want to see
something, throw me a line off-list and I'll see what I can do.
If you want to get in touch with Brian, you can e-mail him at brian.bosveld
at securecomputing.com.

as numberous little odds and ends. Many comercial tap handles ($5.00 each).
Stuff people can pick through and make offers on."
I'm not currently on the MHBA list; if anyone wants to copy it over, go
ahead. Hope this doesn't look like highway robbery to too many people.
Cheers,

I have a friend heading over to Australia and we were wondering if
there are any good beers or Brewpubs to check out in Sydney or
Melbourne?
Thanks.
