It is getting awfully quiet again. Is anyone brewing? What are you brewing? Thanks for asking
Saturday Morning (yes that is tomorrow before noon) the little brewery is going back into action after a 1 month dry spell.
Will be producing Dozer Ale (a.k.a. sleeping bulldozer) which is a high strength winter warmer. OK, Dozer should have been brewed 2 months ago but with an O.G. of about 18-19° Brix, it will gracefully mellow in glass until 2005 or so.
If anyone is interested in stopping by tomorrow, I will be in the basement. If you knock on door and no-one answers, walk around the house and get my attention through the basement window. Yes, it is the same window with the steam column that smells like a brewery.
Phone 952-941-9378 if you are lost. South west suburbs

I've judged this competition before, and it is a good one. If you can
make it to St. Louis, they need the help.

Anyone out there heading up to Fargo this weekend? I was planning on going
and serving the kit beer we brewed but, the Flu is going to prevent that.
And believe me when I say this flu is a bad one. Last saturday after our
most excellent party, it hits me. I'm still struggling with fever, serious
cough, and still can't hardly eat. I know I won't be in shape for the great
food, beer, and good time the PHC has organized.
If anyone is going, let me know. I'll have the keg outside where you won't
pick up any nasty flu bugs and also some directions to my place.

Hello Mike,
Greetings from Colorado. I spoke with Chris Schiffer today from the
Northern Brewer. Chris said that you and the Minnesota Homebrewers
Association are the largest homebrew club in the area. And I also spoke
with Dave Turbenson at Midwest homebrewing Supplies.
I am arranging the AHA On The Road Tour with Charlie Papazian. Charlie is
planning to be in the Minneapolis/St Paul area on Tuesday, April 2 for an
evening AHA event. At these events, Charlie gives a talk, takes questions
and tastes beer (where allowed) etc. Charlie will also be visiting some
homebrew shops in the afternoon.
Evening events in the past have been a reception type set up at a homebrew
shop, meeting in a brewpub, or some other gathering place. Hors d'oeuvre
and/or dinner have been possibilities in the past, it all depends on the
local homebrew clubs and members.
Would you be the best person to coordinate the local arrangements for this
AHA Tour? I know that there are a few homebrew clubs in the area and we
would want to include all of them, as well as working with all the homebrew
shops.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Mugs Up!
-Mark
