Three 15 gallon glass Demijohns for wine or beer making. (Minnesota)

by aaronlagas＠hotmail.com

"aaronlagas(a)hotmail.com" has forwarded you this craigslist.org posting. Please see below for more information. Three 15 gallon glass Demijohns for wine or beer making. Reply to: sale-208650199(a)craigslist.org Date: 2006-09-17, 7:26PM I live in Duluth MN, but will be visiting the minneapolis area in a few weeks... my sister suggested I use Craiglist to try to sell these. I've used the demijohns for a year, but found my back can't handle lifting them without anyone around... so I will be sticking to smaller carboys for my winemaking. I paid $55 each plus a few dollars for the rubber bungs that fit the top. Basket's to hold them came with it also. If anyone is insterested, email me and make me an offer, Thanks!

by Mike Behrendt

REMINDER: Friday party this week! The September Open House is one week earlier than usual. This will let the Good Beer Bus Tour riders get a full night's sleep the following week before boarding their bus. There will be a Kolsch, bitter, hoppy wheat bitter and double chocolate stout on tap. A variety of commercial beer, wine and munchies will be served as well. Additional homebrew, craft brew and dessert-type munchies are welcome. A pool table is also available, so chalk up your cues and practice. Location: Mike & Joan Behrendt - 9060 Douglas Drive, Eden Prairie - 952 949 2268 Take Hwy 212 or Eden Prairie Road to Pioneer Trail westbound. Turn north on Braxton followed by a quick right on Douglas Drive. It's the 5th house on the left side with the red door. -- //Mike Behrendt MGBehrendt(a)mn.rr.com Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others. Groucho Marx

Thanks for the reminder! Since it is a bit of driving for me, I like to make as much of a trip as possible, so before the tour and meeting I'm going to the NOAA open house in Chanhassen which is in the same area I think. www.crh.noaa.gov/mpx/?n=openhouse Maybe I'll see some of you there too.

Minnesota State Fair medals

by Sean and Michelle Hewitt

Dear Judges, Volunteers and Entrants to the 2006 Minnesota State Fair Homebrew Competition - The medals awarded in this years competition had "Minnesota Home Brewers Association" cast on them. I apologize on behalf of the Minnesota State Fair competition for this - the contest is co-sponsored by the MHBA and the Saint Paul Home Brewers Association. As you know, this year the contest switched from printed medallion labels to cast medals. The medals were completely designed by the Minnesota State Fair, not by the contest committee, and were cast without our having seen the design. It is has been my agenda to speak with the State Fair about this, so that the 2007 State Fair medals read only "2007 Minnesota State Fair Homebrew Competition." There was no intention to leave SPHBC off (or any other club), or to aggrandize the MHBA, it was just a mistake on the part of the State Fair. We appreciate the help and cooperation of all judges, volunteers and entrants, and we value help from any Minnesota brew club who wants to help with the State Fair Homebrew Competition. We had 288 entries this year - 37 more than last year, and with everyone's help, the contest will continue to prosper and grow. Regards, Sean Hewitt 2006 MN State Fair Homebrew Competition Organizer
