The Upper Mississippi Mashout Banquets ticket price has been reduced to $30.00 per person. Due to an over estimation in catering costs we are able to slash the price by 25%. The ticket includes your American theme banquet meal and a bottomless 10th anniversary commemorative glass. The banquet will be held at Grumpy's this year at 7:30pm with the awards ceremony to follow. The number of banquet tickets is limited and they are selling fast so don't hesitate to register on the website. All tickets are first come first served. http://www.mashout.org/content/banquet.html If you have already purchased a ticket you will be contacted in regards to a refund of the price differential. The deadline for drop off entries has been extended to Monday January 17th by 3:00pm and must be dropped off at Northern Brewer only(entries brought to Midwest Supply after Friday will not be eligible). The data base will remain open until 3:00PM on Monday.

New Inexpensive Sensor Instantly Measures Surface Contact Stress

by Sensor Expert

Pressure indicating sensor film can reveal pressure distribution and magnitude between any two contacting or impacting surfaces. This thin plastic sensor film-like material is placed between your contact surfaces and instantaneously and permanently captures and records the pressure distribution by changing color. Similar in concept to Litmus paper, the color change is also directly proportional to the amount of force applied and can be quantified. Common applications include measuring surface pressure distribution in bolted joint interfaces, composite layups, heat sealers and lamination presses; it can act as a force sensing resistor, as an impact force sensor, seat pressure sensor, as a strain gauge or even as nip impression paper. If you would like to receive a sample of pressure indicating sensor film, simply select one of categories below to indicate the pressure range most suitable to your application and include it with your reply by email. Please be sure to include your complete contact info including a full mailing address and a very brief description of your application. One sample per person only. Micro 2 - 20 PSI (0.14 - 1.4 kg/cm²) Ultra Low 28 - 85 PSI (2 - 6 kg/cm²) Super Low 70 - 350 PSI (5 - 25 kg/cm²) Low 350 - 1,400 PSI (25 - 100 kg/cm²) Medium 1,400 - 7,100 PSI (100 - 500 kg/cm²) High 7,100 - 18,500 PSI (500 - 1,300 kg/cm²) Super High 18,500 - 43,200 PSI (1,300 - 3,000 kg/cm²) Link here for product brochure Sensor Expert (USA) • Tel: (973) 884-1755 • Fax: (973) 884-1699 • samples(a)sensorexpert.com • www.sensorexpert.com To Unsubscribe, please click here : https://www.freedomcast.ca/EmailBroadcast/box.php?funcml=unsub2&nl=269&mi=6… Pour s’assurer que vous recevez nos futurs courriels, veuillez ajouter notre adresse sur votre liste d’expéditeur.

MHBA Annual Meeting

by Michael Behrendt

A heads-up for the February "Annual Meeting". At the annual meeting, the club is required by our by-laws to have elections of the main officers, namely President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer. Every two-years we elect 2 At-Large Board Members. The by-laws are available on the web site from the "About Us" page For the last few years, we have had very quick elections with few candidates. Mostly just 1 person for each position and everyone agrees. I'd like to see if in 2011, we can get some more interested, newer members to step up and take leadership roles. So, please think about putting your name in as a candidate for President, Vice President, Secretary or Treasurer . There is no requirement to submit anything to become a candidate. MHBA doesn't even have an active Nomination Committee as stated in the by-laws. Nominations can be accepted at the meeting as part of the election process, as long as the candidate agrees to assume the role if elected. We can't just assign the position to someone. So, please give this some thought. Maybe you'd like to be an officer or know someone who would be a good candidate. MHBA also very much needs to have more members be more active. For example, take responsibility for organizing a club meeting. Provide information to the newsletter team. Give a technical topic or discuss a specific BJCP style at a meeting. Organize the Club-Only Competition runoffs. Organize the Master of Malt program each month. I think we need to have MHBA get back to teaching about brewing more than just having drinking get-togethers. BUT, the club needs people to help with this. Thanks! //Mike Behrendt VP MN Home Brewers Association P.S. We don't yet have a meeting time or location. Stay tuned for that!
