Al and my fellow fermenting friends, Saturday I am bound for Chattanooga, TN to begin yet another interesting work adventure. I’ll be working for McKee Foods as their Corporate Microbiology Supervisor. McKee makes “Little Debbie” products, Sunbelt and Heartland granola products and some other edibles. So, please feel free to indulge in semi-healthy snacks, or splurge on some Little Debbie “Cosmic Brownies” (yes, that is the real name of the product). Daughter Sara and I are quite partial to the brownies….mmmmm chocolaty! Lynchburg is not too far west…perhaps a tour of some relatively-famous distillery is in order? Anyway, it has been wonderful being part of MNHBA and I am grateful for all the friends I’ve made and the stuff people have taught me about brewing and mead making. Minnesota is, and will remain, tops in my book and so I will try to get back to this part of the country as often as I can. Cheers and peace to everyone! Steve Weiland
