The latest BOILER, the newsletter of the Minnesota Home Brewers Association is online!  Download it at http://www.mnbrewers.com/newsletters/2005_05.pdf .  (PS - Typo in the BIG BREW article in Rick Oftel's address.  CORRECT address listed below.)
 
Also, the Club Meeting for May this Saturday, May 7th.  It also happens to be BIG BREW day, and will be held at the home of Rick and Dawn Oftel in Edina.  We will be offering a nationwide toast at noon, and BYO grilling and picnicking shortly thereafter.  Homebrew is, of course, welcome, if not MANDATORY!   (We won't be told we "...can't open that here..." like we did at LAST month's meeting!)
 
BUT... if you'd like to come over earlier, we are trying to see how many batches of homebrew we can simultaneously make!  Rick's house is AHA SITE #31 of 214 registered BIG BREW sites Nationwide.  http://www.beertown.org/events/bigbrew/index.html  Bring your gear and ingredients, and brew a batch with us on National Big Brew day.
 
If you don't want to drag your stuff out, come over earlier anyway and see how other brewers in the club do it.
