Steve,
I'll gladly cover - waiting is hard especially for things like you are
going through.
Tomorrow at my place is fine. The mapquest URL is
http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?country=US&countryid=US&addtoh…
Address
3631 Woodland Trail
Eagan, MN 55123-2400
651-452-2444
The driveway for the house immediately to our south lines up with Arbor
Court as a reference point when you come down Woodland Trail.
Let's say noon as a starting time unless anyone proposes something else.
Can those that plan to stop by please let me know just so I'll have a
rough count.

Hi Steve and fellow fermentation fanatics,
Steve, if you and Janice would please host tomorrow that would be really
great. I am sorry for offering my house and backing out at the last minute.
This was so unexpected with my Mom. Last Friday is when she really took a
turn for the worse and was admitted to the ER at North Memorial Hospital.
Mom has already made the two doctors I met "eat their words" by surviving
past Tuesday of this week. But she is much worse now..... as Tom Petty
sings "the waiting is the hardest part".
If Mom is still alive tomorrow, I will stop by and bring some mead. Don't
know if I will make my batch of mead or not....but I have mead to share with
all.
If for some reason Steve you cannot host tomorrow, my wife said she would
stick around the house and let people use our facilities, but she is a
little nervous about that.
Please let me know if you can host Mead Day. Thanks very much!!
Best regards to you,
Steve

Thanks Steve. Yes, it would be best to use your home. Thanks so much for
offering.
Glad you like the idea of a barrel-aged dubbel. Getting a really tasty
dubbel is not easy in my opinion....maybe the bourbon barrel would give it
that extra "something" that we all hope to get in our beers.
I defer to you for the type of yeast strain to use. Just leave out the
Brettanomyces, ok? :)
I know.... :) I was just teasing you. :)

I am planning to be there.
Sorry to hear about your mother. Do you want an alternative site, we
could do it at my place.

maybe I need to get my own barrel??
Yeah, a really malty but slightly dry dubbel. Make it with mostly
Munich, some cara malts to boast the dark ripe fruit notes - almost a
Bock except we add 15% sugar and use a good Belgian yeast strain.
Something like Rochfort 8 aged in the barrel would be interesting.
That makes another beer I have to try with a few drops of JD in.

I said I wasn't sure about the flowers :-)
I do know about Ge (which frequently goes with As in electronics). The
last machines from Cray Computer Corporation (not Cray Research Inc or
Cray Inc) were based on GeAs technology. Turned out to be a little too
exotic to fabricate cheaply and reliably for digital electronics but it
was very fast for the time.
GeAs technology is/was used in the fancy police radar devices....you
know...the ones that measure stationary trees as travelling at 75 mph.
