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: Hydrogenated oil vs others

"Are there problems in the brewing process (or finished beer)
that hydrogenated oils would cause?  I don't see where these
would act much differently than processed oils, but maybe I'm
missing something."

Calvin Perilloux
Middletown, Maryland, USA

Sorry Calvin sometimes I forget which forum I'm on.
I have no idea if hydrogenated oils act differently than other oils in the
process of brewing.
I emphasized the issue due to my disdain for this type of oil as its
horrible for the body we walk around with.
