Everyone, Please forward this review on "Mead the Gueuze" [70% Hanssens 3 year old Gueuze & 30% Lurgashall English Mead = another project initiated by the team of B.United International Inc.} to all your friends: All About Beer, MAY 2002, page 47 Charles Finkel, Merchant du Vin A primeval, perfect pint. Early mostly brewsters surely made a drink with spontaneously fermented malt and wheat, along with a good measure {30%} mead {honey beverage}. Here, a super sensual perfume flares one's nostrils, like those of a wild animal. Complex contrast defines the fruity taste which begs for flavorful food. We served it with mixed organic vegetables and sustainably grown lamb. The balance of acidity and sweetness complemented each dish. Afterward my sweetie and I shared a glass with a local, organic pear, raw-mil Roquefort and olive bread. We are back on our honey-moon Charles Papazin Seventy percent gueuze, thirty percent mead. The concept is extraordinary, creative, and a match made in heaven, combining the complexity of Belgian style gueuze with a delicate touch of honey. Crisp, refreshing, well-carbonated {be careful when opening}, with a wonderful balance between acidic, floral and fruity character. If taste, aroma and appearance are the sole measure of excellence, this beverage is a winner! Absolutely fantastic! Roger Protz Extremely pale, hazy color with a deep collar of snowy foam, this is a blend of mead made by the Lurgashall winery in England with Hanssens gueuze from Belgium; the blend is 30:70 in favor of gueuze. The aroma is honey rich, balanced by the traditional "horse-blanket" musty sourness of gueuze. The palate is fruity, tart but not too sour thanks to the welcome presence of the honey. The finish starts sweet but dries into a slightly sour and nutty end. Intriguiing and delicious: the blend works well.

Can anybody help?

by Nate Maddux

Greetings all, Due to circumstances beyond my control I am selling my relatively new set of extract brewing equipment...carboy, bottle tree, boiling/racking and bottling equipment, books... the works. The setup, with more than $210 invested, has been kept impeccably clean (only two batches run through it since I purchased it in September of 2001). Worth noting that both the Midwest Brown Ale the Wind River Imperial Stout kits turned out fantastic...anyway I'm getting off the subject a bit. I would like to sell the entire kit as a set, I have an EXCEL spreadsheet which lists every piece of equipment I will be including. i am more than happy to forward this list to anybody interested. Please feel free to contact me also at << duxmad(a)hotmail.com >>, or in the evenings at (952)249-0191. I need to sell the kit soon, will take the best offer. cheers, Nate Maddux Minnetonka, MN

RE: New laws regarding propane tanks

Might be a good time to go to one of those gas stations where you drop off your old empty propane tank (with the defunct valve) for a refilled one... if you know what I mean... I USED to have several of those old-valve ones too, now all my tanks are up-to-code.... - Al "Crist, Jonathan" To: "'mba(a)thebarn.com'" <mba(a)thebarn.com> <cristj@bsci. cc: com> Subject: RE: New laws regarding propane tanks Sent by: owner-mba@the barn.com 03/28/2002 01:08 PM didn't this already change for Minnesota, or is April 1st also the deadline here? > Apparently, as of April 1, 2002 there is a new valve arrangement on > propane tanks.
