As you are well aware, the MHBA’s BIG HOLIDAY EVENT is
this Friday, 6-10, in the CSPS Hall above the Glockenspiel in
Please bring a potluck
dish (and recipe, if you want to win the People’s Choice award
for food item—there’s prizes!). Bringing your own table
service isn’t a bad idea, but plastic plates, etc. will be available.
Bring beer! Bring
labeled homebrew for the Beer Exchange. Bring beer for public consumption
and perhaps win the People’s Choice award. (prizes!)
Bring families. This
is a great event to share with the significant other and the wee ones.
Bring money! Paul
Dienhart, the first-ever membership secretary, will be on hand to take your
2007 renewals. Remember—every renewing membership expires 12/31/06,
so bring $15 to cover your 2007 dues. 2007 membership cards will be
available. Members in good standing are eligible to use the new club library,
administered by Joe Gerteis. He has tons of cool books and a
counter-pressure filler available for check-out. Chris Smith is using the
new filler for a club bottle-filling event before Upper Mississippi Mash-Out.
Bring your inquisitive nature. At
Teach a Friend Day, three nearly-identical brews were made. Your mission
(should you choose to accept it) is to attempt to figure out which brew had the
extract added at which point. One had extract added for the full 60 minutes
of the boil, one had extract added 30 minutes in, and the third had extract
added at flame-out.
Bring yourself to the CSPS
Hall Friday night (the 8th) at 6:00! See you there.
