  See message below from Ron Price. &lt;br&gt; -------- Original Message -------- &lt;br&gt; Beer Advocates &lt;br&gt; I have been thinking about the future of the AHA and how it will adapt to the recent surge in membership and newfound growth. &lt;br&gt; The AHA&#39;s membership set a new record high of 30,000 members last month. &lt;br&gt; The National Homebrew Conference sold out in a record setting five days, and The National Homebrew Competition sold out in only two days.

  Fellow Brewers: &lt;br&gt; Mark Edelson from Iron Hill has graciously offered to donate pale malt to everyone participating in the Big Brew.  He needs to know specifically what &amp;amp; how much we will need. Mark says, _&amp;quot;If you can all agree on a base malt, I can provide you with Briess Brewers’ Malt – 2 Row or Weyermann Pilsner Malt – 2 row.&amp;quot;_
