Greetings,
Dave Luskey, an MHBA member and employee of Rahr Malting, has worked out a
deal where we get to test a special 2 row blended malt. It is considered a
"base" malt and will tentatively be picked up April 13th, 1-4 or so.
Quantities to be determined, but you should know that there will be enough
for a "thorough" test.
You must have your own container/bag. If you wish to participate, contact
Dave (anyone know his e-mail?) or myself.
Mike Moranz, President
Minnesota Home Brewers Association
I've been out to the web site looking at the calendar and do not see any
monthly meeting notices posted. I do see a large number of events. Has
there been a change in format? Are the beer judging classes intended to
take the place of the monthly meeting. Also, if I wish to mail my dues to
someone should I use the Lino Lakes address listed on the newsletter.

Hi, The PHC had commemorative glasses made up for Charlie Papazian's Visit.
We have a few of these left. The front and back are shown on the
attachments. His entire tour schedule is listed on the back. They look
very nice. If anyone is interested in purchasing one of these they are
$5.00. I will be in the cities this weekend and could bring them down if
someone wants one.
Thanks,
Susan

very interesting...

the headline/subject is a bit misleading, but I thought I'd use traditional newspaper tactics.

CBS'ers
The CBS 25th Anniversary Barley Wine was racked into Jack Daniel's
barrels yesterday. The batch yielded 280 gallons. It will rest in the
barrels until at least early August with the first public tastings being
at the Great Taste of the Midwest. Of course I'll have a pre GTOTM
tasting for CBS members that first week of August.
Then it should make appearances at various fests to the end of the year.
We only captured 1 half barrel that won't sit in the wood and we will
carbonate and share with Charlie P. on Friday. We'll also be sharing
our immensely hoppy Imperial IPA which will be served swickel style.
Charlie P. will be at FSBC from 1-3 on Friday.
Sorry for the ad...
Cheers!
Todd Ashman
From the club calendar:
