Subject: Proteolytmalz

I have finally gotten around to translating Kohlbach's 1953 paper (in 
which residual alkalinity is defined) and had to surmount many many 
difficulties but couldn't crack one. Does anyone know what 
"Proteolytmalz" is? The literal meaning is obvious but I have never 
heard of such a thing and Weyerman does not mention it on their website.

Subject: Valhalla Mead Only Competition

The result for the Valhalla Mead Only Competition are posted on-line at 
http://www.valhalla-mead.com/results.cfm.  This was the largest Valhalla yet 
with 102 entries from across the country.   Congratulations to Lyle Brown 
for his fabulous Semi-sweet traditional mead made with sage honey.    It was 
certainly hard to pick between so many wonderful meads.   Special thanks to 
the organizers, Suzanne McMurphy and Tim Ackerson and our host, Chris 
LaPierre at Iron Hill Brewery and Restaurant.
