NORTHERN BREWER GRAND OPENING IN WEST ALLIS, WI
------------------------------------------------
Here in Saint Paul, we're all a little jealous of what's going on in West
Allis, Wisconsin. The new store is getting closer and closer to opening.
Grand Opening festivities will be held over the weekend of November 13 - 15
and promises to be a good time for all. There will be all-grain brewing
demonstrations hosted by NB employees and featuring Jamil Zainasheff and
John Blichmann (on Friday and Saturday, respectively). The Brewing Network
will be broadcasting live on location. Brian Perkey from Wyeast
Laboratories will be talking yeast and generally hanging out. Award-winning
mead-maker (and NB employee) Curt Stock will be in the house talking mead.
There will be door prizes and, of course, everything in the new store will
be on sale all weekend long.
* Check here for more details.

------------------------------------------------
Northern Brewer is excited to carry Polarware's newest addition to their
line of brewing kettles. We will now be offering Polarware's eight gallon
kettle welded with a half-inch ball valve, perfect for a full-volume wort
boil for the five-gallon batch brewer. In addition to this kettle, we'll
carry Polarware's new line of
<http://www.polarware.com/home-brewing/brew-pot-with-site-gauge.php> Deluxe
Kettles. These kettles will feature a graduated weldless sight-glass in
addition to the welded ball-valve and thermometer ports that are currently
offered on their brew kettles. These Deluxe kettles will be offered in 10
and 15 gallon sizes. These brand new kettles are not yet on our website or
in our retail location. But we expect them to be available within a couple
of weeks.
NEW BLICHMANN ENGINEERING PRODUCTS
------------------------------------------------
Blichmann Engineering has done it again! Northern Brewer now carries the
newly-released Blichmann
<http://www.blichmannengineering.com/AutoSparge/auto_sparge.html>
AutoSparge. Looking like something out of Tesla's laboratory, the AutoSparge
allows you to maintain a constant level of sparge water in your Mash Tun by
automatically adjusting the flow rate from your Hot Liquor Tank into your
Mash Tun to match the flow rate from your Mash Tun into your Boil Kettle. So
you can just "set it and forget it". Compatible with gravity-fed systems or
with systems designed around pumps--including RIMS systems--and fits any
kettle or cooler that is at least twelve inches in diameter.
Also check out
<http://www.northernbrewer.com/default/blichmann-brewing-gloves.html>

perfect for sanitary applications, you'll wonder how you ever brewed without
them.
