beer joke

by Steve Fletty

Brenda O'Malley is home making dinner, as usual, when Tim Finnegan arrives at her door. "Brenda, may I come in?" he asks. "I've somethin' to tell ya." "Of course you can come in, you're always welcome, Tim. But where's my husband?" "That's what I'm here to be tellin' ya, Brenda. There was an accident down at the Guinness brewery..." "Oh, God no!" cries Brenda. "Please don't tell me..." "I must, Brenda. Your poor husband Shamus is dead and gone. I'm sorry." Tears in her eyes, she looks up at Tim and asks: "How did it happen? Don't spare me anything." "It was terrible, Brenda. He fell into a full vat of Guinness Stout and drowned." "Oh my dear Be-Jesus, you must tell me true, Tim. Did he at least go quickly?" "Well, no Brenda... no. Fact is, he got out three times to pee."

After last night's discussion on yeast, I thought this might be of interest. It's an article Lew Bryson wrote a couple of years ago. http://www.beveragebusiness.com/art98/mmbryson0601.html David Berg President, Minnesota Craft Brewer's Guild Head Brewer, Water Tower Brewing Company

WestSide Story II

by Will Holway

Hi, Thanks to all who attended the WestSide meeting as well as Dave for hosting the meeting and Bob and Damian for their input. I think everyone who attended got a lot out of talking to the professional brewers, and it seems that both homebrewers and commercial brewers struggle with some of the same issues. I think we may make this a regular feature of the WetSide meetings (rotate the meetings between Hops, the Water Tower and Sherlock's Home and possibly WindRiver). Once again, thanks to all! Cheers!

Spices?

by Erik Nelson

For those of you that has made a methligen (sp?), I am thinking of doing one with mint leaves in the secondary. If someone has experience with mint leaves, can they let me know how potent the leaves are. I have no idea of how potent they are Thanks Erik Nelson
