Re: [mnbrewers] Finding equipment in the Minneapolis area

by Bruce.Butler＠colorspan.com

A good source of ~25 oz champagne bottles is to contact hotels and ballrooms that host wedding receptions. I've had success in the past in contacting them on a Saturday afternoon and asking them to save a case or two of empties that I could pick up on Sunday morning. Some of these may also have the buckets you are looking for. Bruce Butler _______________________ New bottles aren't MUCH more. But... I guess I'd talk to "decent" liquor store. You'll probably be able to get a used case of returnable bottles for close to cost. Good luck!

FS: 15 gallon SS brew kettle

by Rick Larson

I have a 15 gallon stainless steel brew kettle for sale. The kettle is an converted 1/2 bbl straight side keg. It has one 304 ss 3/4" FPT fitting welded into the center bottom of the kettle. Attached to this fitting is 3/4" copper pipe to a 3/4" full ball valve. Buyer can choose various fittings for the out side of the ball valve to fit in their brewery. It has one 304 ss 1" FPT fitting welded into the side for a electric hot water heater. Attached to this fitting is one 4500 electric hot water heater element with a 220vac AC style plug. It has one 304 ss 1/2" FPT fitting welded into the side for a large face temperature dial. A brass plug is connected to this fitting. The kettle is mounted on three 2x4 legs. The top of the kettle is about 5 feet high. The legs are dadoed for a counter flow wort chiller. I'll include is a 21' copper counter flow wort chiller. Old timers may remember this kettle at a CSPS club brew day. This has been successfully used as a hot liquior tank and a brew kettle. Buyer might convice me to find a suitable hop screen if used as a kettle. $125 or best offer. rick

Winterfest

by David H Berg

Sorry for all the email lately, but it seems we will not have tickets for Winterfest ready today. I apologize to anyone that has tried to purchase them already. They should be available tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest. Tickets will be available at member brewpubs and will be on a cash only basis. The Guild has no way to accept credit cards, and I've seen to many NSF checks in the past year (probably not from any of you though!) Sorry for the inconvience.

by David H Berg

Greetings all- First, I'd like to wish everyone a Happy New Year! While ushering in 2002, the MCBG has been hard at work planning our next event. We thought September was too long to wait for another beer festival, so we are pleased to be presenting the first annual Winterfest, a celebration of beers of the season. Barleywines, Doppelbocks, Imperial Stouts, you name it. Join us and sample the beers of the season while enjoying some soothing Jazz to help us forget it's still probably 6 months from spring! For more information, click on the the link below. http://www.mncraftbrew.org/page5.html As always, thank you for supporting Minnesota breweries and hope to see you in February. Cheers!

Re: BJCP

by Rick Oftel

Greetings from Rick and Dawn, We both wanted to thank you for allowing us to be your host last evening for the light lager section of the BJCP training. We were very pleased with the turnout, quality (and quantity) of samples, information, and interaction of the group. Thanks and looking forward to the next meetings. By the way, one of my neighbors had a few questions about the new neon sign he noticed in the window. Guess I have some more splaining to do! Have a great week-end and thanks again for the great turnout. Sincerely, Rick Oftel V.P. MHBA
