Greetings fellow brewers, Rick here with the first test of the EBAS (emergency brewing announcement system). I just received the following message from the St. Paul home brewers. Sounds like something is cooking up across the river at least for this writer sitting on the west side. Anyhow, I don't have the complete e-list put together yet so I am copying this message to the barn. The St. Paul Homebrewers are going to be brewing a 30 gallon batch of Dopplebock this Sunday. The plan is to do a decoction mash. A few of the guys have done one and the others are willing to learn. Here are the details: Start time is 9:30. Good things to bring is beer to share and muchies. Feel free to stop by, hang out, meet the guys, have some of the numerous homebrews, shoot the breeze, watch some football, get a look at the big brew system, ask questions, etc.... Here are the directions: No matter where you're coming from, this is the easiest. Take 35E to Maryland Avenue exit. Go East on Maryland to Burr (5 blocks). Take a left on Burr. Go two blocks to Ivy. Take a right. Bradley is the next street. Our garage is the driveway on your left just before you get to Bradley. Look for a bunch of cars in the driveway and guys standing around. If you miss the driveway, Bradley only goes left. We are the second house on the left. 1335 Bradley St. in St. Paul." So this concludes this test. Should this have been an actual emergency................ Have a great week-end Rick O
