Hi Steve,
OK, thanks for the offer of a "plan B"..... You and Janice are very kind and
supportive to all in the club....
Steve, I will let you know ASAP if I cannot host. For everyone else, Steve and Janice
Piatz's place is VERY nice indeed, and not that far from where we live in
Burnsville....so looks like Mead Day will be held south of the river for sure.
I will keep the postings short....not easy for me! :)
Thanks to everyone for their good wishes and support.

Hi Rick and all,
For an English-style brown or robust porter I like Whitbread yeast. .....
Wyeast 1086 that is. I don't have a preference for a Red ale yeast since
I don't make that style beer.
By the way, who is coming to mead day on Sat.?? My Mom is in the hospital
and is terminal....moved to the Hospice Care center on Sunday. I still
will host mead day, I hope. Her prognosis is not good, possibly another 48
hours or so....
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.
By the way, I vote for a Bourbon Barrel Belgian Dubble style ale.....
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.
And Steve Piatz....."Germanium" is a rare earth element. The flower is a
Geranium. :)
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.
Best regards to all in the clubs,
Steve Weiland

Mendota Heights, MN 55120 What yeast does the collective recommend for a
Porter and a Red? I plan on
starting up the brewhaus in a couple of weeks and
would like to use a single
culture for both. This way, I brew on Friday and Sunday and drop the porter
onto the dregs of the red.
