The City of Minneapolis is proclaiming Saturday, Dec. 10th "Minneapolis Home Brewing Day!" Council member John Quincy will be on hand at Northern Brewer Minneapolis at 1pm that day for a photo opportunity and to say a few words about the local homebrewing culture. It would be amazing if a bunch of MNBAers could be in attendance as well for the photo op and to represent homebrewing! Should only take about a half-hour... in the classroom at the new store @ 6021 Lyndale Ave. S. Looking into brewing some beers outside, too... but for now we'll definitely have a couple batches doing inside the classroom.
Winterfest Tix sale notice.
Thanks Jerry!

Homebrewers,
I'm working with a local bee-keeper who is willing to share his honey with the club for a very reasonable price. If you haven't sent your checks in, this is a great time. I'll be processing what I've received and turn these checks into wonderful 5 gallon buckets of liquid gold.
If you haven't heard and are interested, let me know and I'll send you additional details. I'm hoping to get this finalized so bucket pickup can begin around Thanksgiving. No commercial quantities please.
Sincerely,
Rick Oftel
Adventure is worthwhile.

the address above.
BRING:
A non-perishable item for the Food Shelf.
BYOB and a snack to share, Extra $$ for CDs,
Musical instruments and voices - if anyone's interested in a jam afterwards.
DETAILS:
On Saturday night, November 12, Beth and I will be having a party to
celebrate the music of CHUCK BRODSKY!
Beth and I first heard Chuck Brodsky in an opening set for Lou and Peter
Berryman. As much as I like the Berrymans, I found myself wishing that
Chuck's set could go on longer! He did a song about road rage that will
"Blow You Away", and his song about "Radio", the football waterboy affected
me deeper than the movie starring Cuba Gooding Jr that was to follow.
Comedy, political satire, heart-tugging pathos, and Chuck's true love -
Baseball - all populate the lines of Chuck's songs. Chuck now makes his
home in North Carolina, and he graciously agreed to come do a show for us!
He doesn't get this way often enough - don't miss him!
Please join us to party with Chuck Brodsky on Saturday, November 12, 2011,
show time starting at 8pm. Mark your calendar - it's going to be a PARTY!

Please note: This is a private party, in our private home. This party is NOT
a business nor is it a business related activity. It is simply a gathering
of our friends and guests to enjoy live music, fellowship, food (a potluck)
and fun. It is officially free (or else it might be considered a business),
although voluntary contributions (suggested donation of $15 per person) are
accepted on behalf of the artists. 100% of all contributions go directly to
the performers. By invitation only.
The club library will be available on Sat. @ the Barley Johns event as well for any members to look through or return materials. Remember there is counter pressure bottle filler for lending out as well!
ps. I just pulled an old 16 gal keg out of a job I was working on if anyone would like it for keggle conversion. WARNING THERE IS STILL BEER INSIDE!

Club Librarian

In addition to the MHBA event at Barley Johns this Saturday, Northern Brewer is offering 15% off store-wide (excluding Blichmann products) to club members. After you stop by Barley Johns you can stock up on brewing ingredients and equipment at Northern Brewer. This is also a good time for friends and family to pick up a starter kit after joining the club.
November is also a great time to renew your membership if you have not done so yet. If you join or renew in the last 2 months of the year you will also receive membership for the following year. There is also an exclusive club only event later this month where membership cards will be required for entry. Don't miss out and renew this Saturday or online at mnbrewers.com. Event details will be released shortly.
Cheers,
Chris Smith

Doe anyone has suggestions on where I can purchase un-preserved apple cider
for making hard cider? I have found it to be more difficult than I
expected to find.

Cheers! From fine lagers to wicked ales-the complete history of brewing in
Minnesota told here for the first time
Starting with its first brewery in 1849, Doug Hoverson tells the story of
Minnesota's beer industry from the small-town breweries that gave way to
larger companies with regional and national prominence to the vibrant beer
culture of today. Complete with a comprehensive list of Minnesota's
breweries-including many never before listed in print-and more than 300
tempting illustrations of beer and breweriana, Land of Amber Waters
marvelously chronicles Minnesota's rich brewing traditions.
"Land of Amber Waters is a real triumph of American brewing history and is a
must for every collector of brewing literature or breweriana."
-Fritz Maytag
"Thoroughly written and researched it evokes not only nostalgia, but also a
powerful thirst. Whether you are a beer geek, a history buff, or simply
sipping a beer, you'll find a worthy companion with Land of Amber Waters."
-Charlie Papazian, author of The Complete Joy of Homebrewing

Subject: [mnbrewers] COC for Nov-Dec
Hey Everybody!
Will the beers for the Nov-Dec COC be judged this Saturday or at a later date? I believe the deadline is Nov 25th. I have re-brewed my Roggenbier, but I won't be getting it into a keg until tonight (Nov. 2nd) and I don't think it will be ready to bottle until Monday or Tuesday next week. I can rush it if I need to. I think we should get this done in time to ship normally this time.
Let me know.
Thanks
Kurt Smelser
