WHAT`S NEW
TOAST TO JIMMY: "On October 14, 1978, President Carter signed House
Resolution 1337. Senate Amendment 3534 to that resolution called for
equal treatment of home beer brewers and home winemakers. This law
allowed that brewing up to 100 gallons per adult or up to 200 gallons
per household per year was permitted for home use. The amendment was
proposed by Senator Cranston of California, Senator Schmitt of New
Mexico, Senator Bumpers of Arkansas and Senator Gravel of Alaska."

National Mead Day: National Mead Day was celebrated with vim and
vigor in St. Paul, MN this past Saturday as some 23 people gathered
to sample 37 meads. Commercial meads included the likes of Xtabentum
(Licor de Anis y Miel de Abejas), Brother Adam\'s Bragget Ale,
Lindisfarne and Moniack (Dark) - to name just a few. The most
striking aspect was the quality of the home made meads. Thanks to
everyone who participated and a special thanks to those who brought
libations and food. Equally aMAZEing is that five mead makers made
six batches of mead: two batches of the official mead day recipe,
cherry melomel, and batches of cranberry blossom, raspberry ginger,
wildflower, and mint blossom. In all, 32 gallons of mead were made.
Mead making technique ran the gamut from pasteurization to the use of
sulfites to no sanitation of ingredients. Some 1.6 trillion yeasts
"pitched in" to make it happen. Check out the pictures[1]!!!
