From Jack-of-All-Brews
==============
Hey fellow homebrewers!
This is a call-out to all the Minnesota Homebrew clubs to support a local homebrewer
through a rough time. Chris German has a wonderful 3 year old daughter named Emma, who
has recently been diagnosed with an aggressive childhood cancer called neuroblastoma. She
is currently undergoing chemotherapy at Children's Hospital MPLS, and will need a
stem cell transplant at the University of Minnesota in the future. Obviously this is
tough to deal with, and puts a lot of stress on the family, socially and financially.
To those who know Chris and his family, they are the most relaxed and giving people you
are likely to meet. Chris works for Brewer's Supply Group, selling grain and brewing
ingredients to breweries and homebrew supply shops. The wonderful folks at Northern
Brewer have started up a special beer kit called Emma's Ale, giving proceeds to fund
research at Children's Hospital. I'm encouraging homebrewers to pick up this
kit and brew it! Support Emma, support a MN homebrew shop, and support Children's
cancer research.

Club mates of Chris at Jack Of All Brews plan to all get this kit and have a grand tasting
at our January 14th meeting. We will also have a fundraising raffle and pot-luck that
month. Tell us if you plan on doing anything! Check out our forum or facebook site for
more info:

Brew this kit! Also thank Northern Brewer for being so cool. To read more about
Emma's battle you can visit her Caring Bridge website. Brewer's Supply Group has
also set up a fund in Emma's name. Direct contributions can be made in the form of a
check written to Emma German and sent to this address:
Voyager Bank
500 Marschall Road
Shakopee, MN 55379
Thanks to everyone,
Eric Wentling
