Subject: dry wheat yeast

Wow, that's great news! I've been waiting for a dried wheat yeast for ages
and now there are two available (Safale has a new wheat yeast as
well)....One question: does the Danstar yeast produce enough flavour and
aroma to satisfy we Weizen fans?

Looking forward to getting a chance to find out!

Robin

Subject: Fundraising Update

Greetings, Beerlings! Take me to your lager...

Thanks to all who have come forward to the aid of the HBD. In only 10
days, we've managed to raise over $1300 toward the goal of $4558 (first
year of T1 service; alternatively, to goal of covering the current
contract expense of $2925). It was great to see many of the same who come
forward each time the HBD is in need, and it was also gratifying to see
several new names as well.

There remains only three days before the discounted T1 offer expires - and
that's maybe for the best. I am researching other modes of faster local
hosting but expect that I will have to bow to economic forces and
"offshore" the HBD as many have suggested I do. Hopefully our volunteer
codeslinger Anton will have rendered the HBD scripts portable by the end
of this contract's term - T minus 15 months and counting...

All the best!
Pat Babcock
Chief of HBD Janitorial Services

Subject: Proper welding for valves

First of, it's been a couple years since I last brewed.  I now have a  
garage, and I'm excited to start again.  Up to this point I've been  
using the weldless ballvalve couplings that use a high temp silicone  
gasket and s.s. washers to fasten my ballvalves onto my mashtun ans  
HLT and boil kettle.  It's a bit of a hassle to pull everything apart  
and I'm concerned about the heat melting the gaskets (it's deformed  
them in the past)  I'd like to get a sanitary weld, what do I need to  
know?  Can anyone recommend someon in the Portland/Beaverton area?

Thanks
