NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to 
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3400
per year. If less than half of those currently directly
subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to 
spare for next year. Please consider it.

As always, donors and donations are publicly acknowledged
and accounted for on the HBD web page. THank you

Subject: re: swing top and rousing yeast

Buy replacement rubber gasket at local homebrew store 
or online. Pull off old, put on new.

Rousing yeast... some yeast in primary/secondary can
stall. By agitating the fermentor you can get the yeast 
back in suspension and release CO2. In the bottle you
are getting the yeast back in suspension so they can
work on the sugars that are there. Again, some yeast 
need to be roused, some don't.
