December Meeting
Patrick Sundberg
Jesse Grant
Pat,
Again, sorry to have to miss the meeting. I will be going to the citites this weekend and will be trying to convince my wife to make 2 stops for beer. The first one being at a liquor store to buy some Avery the 2nd at Midwest or Northern. If anybody wants something, send me an e-mail and if I stop I will pick up your order. Also, Pat, I remembred to take a hydrometer reading on my last brew and not sure what to do with both the readings. How do I do the math to find out the ABV and alchohol content?
Grant
Patrick Sundberg
Here's a great set of calculators for brewing http://www.beertribe.com/gizmos/calcs/
You can use that to evaluate the ABV.
Also, in other news, there's a new homebrew shop in St. Cloud as mentioned in the Cloudy Town Brewer's monthly newsletter. And, remember, I work in Sauk Rapids and could easily be encouraged to check it out. For more info check out http://www.cloudytownbrewers.org/clarifier/2007/clarifier1207.pdf

If you see any, I'd like something from Dogfish Head. Don't care what, just
a six pack of something.

Walt Pittack
carries some of their brews. They are kind of strung out all thru the
store so you have to look around or ask. They do have the 120 minute IPA
($8.99 a bottle). They also have the FORT (750ml bottle for $15.99). On
occasion they have the Midas Touch. They carry most of the year round
beers. The single high end beers are right at the cash register.

Bummer!
I had high hopes of actually attending but my handler just called and I am heading to NY at 7 AM tomorrow.
Have one for me.

Don't forget! Our December meeting will be held this week, Thursday, at the Eclectic Cafe.
Halverson, Marc
Comments on mill to buy, need to get it on my Christmas
list for my wife to gift to me. Seems to be the Midwest
one they show.
You are going to miss the Marc Kolsch at the meeting, and
I still have not brought you samples or a six pack. So
sad....
May end up leaving then at the police station for your
wife or Betsy at the office.
I will be doing some capped bottles of my second kolsch
all grain in about two weeks, will bring you some of
those.
Most of beer goes into the roll tops and I don't loan
those out at all cause home brew guys KEEP them. Am
starting to cap more cause Jesse had a deal on them.
I also have in 22 oz. bottles, my first all grain oatmeal
stout which I will also have for you. All this passing of
beer bottles should happen about Christmas past cause I
get a life back then.
Later, Marc

JESSE HOPKINS
Reg - I'd like to take a gander at your amarillo whole
hops. Thinking of incorporating those in my next batch. Would
consider a purchase of 1/2 pound. What are you asking?
Pat - Let's
connect. I need to pick-up my kegs and a floating thermometer I
left at your garage. Maybe keg the BVIP sans bourbon and vanilla while I'm
there. Any free time this weekend?
Joel - check's in the
mail. Maybe you've rec'd it already.
Jesse - We tranfered Jesse's
beer and Jesse's beer is looking pretty drinkable. Looking forward to
enjoying a mug of Jesse's beer. Yeah Jesse, he's a good friend of
mine. Now he's got a little beer and I wanna make it
mine.
Not sure I can make the meeting tonight. I have a holiday get together after work. Looking forward to the next meeting/batch! Thanks again for a good time,
Patrick Sundberg

I didn't really keep track of the who/what/whens of the infusion plan.
Did you use all of the vanilla beans to infuse a bulk amount of bourbon? That said, is there enough of the infused bourbon for all/myself to purchase?
Or, are there 2 vanilla beans hangin' around that I could pick up & use on my own.
I transferred to 2ndary on wed. It's well on the way to quaffability.
In other news...I have received payment from Marc, Grant & Dan, and Hopkins says its in the mail. Thanks guys!!

That's a bummer because I have a sample of the Bourbon Vanilla Imperial Porter that I'm bringing to the meeting. I mixed in the Vanilla-infused bourbon last night. It's still a bit green, but it tastes FANTASTIC!
I'll have to give you a few of my bottles.

freezer!! I think I paid $10 per lb so 5$ per 1/2 lbs??? Sounds good
to me. Or rather, make me an offer on some of your home made beer I
can't refuse!!!! Call me at 218 829-4095 Home phone.

Any ideas members.
The Kolsch I have done have been to my liking, my wife even said well done
and she likes the Coopers crap from Australia.
The oatmeal stout gives me a rich dark brew when I need that, the rich dark
foam puts a smile on my face.
Something on the Kolsch line or ??
Past your thoughts for something traditional and fun. Some of the IPAs are
bitter to me.

I've looked through the descriptions NorthernBrewer has on their ingredient kits for inspiration many times.
http://northernbrewer.com/beer-kits.html
If something sounds good from the description, go for it! My next batch is their Lefse Blonde, or at least a very close copy of that recipie.

Irish Red works for me, will it be like Killian Red?
