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: Stuck Fermentation

Who can tell me the reason for stuck fermentation? 
e.g Belgian Tripel, SG 1.065 after 3 weeks 1.030. Yeast Wyeast 1388. 

Racked to secondary and poured 3 gals apple juice on the yeast cakes. 
Fermentation running just like it should. So temperature is not an issue. 
So what is?

Suggestions for how to restart it? 

Regards,
Frank J. Russo

Subject: 2010 Coconut Cup Results

The 2010 Coconut Cup was another rousing success thanks to everyone's 
support. 

Special thanks go to our out of town judges--Steve Piatz (from 
Minnesota!), Sean Gregg (SAAZ), Andy Rodusky (PBD), Paul Blatz (PBD), 
Patrick Fossett (PBD), Don Russ (PBD), Herb Boardman (FLAB), Greg 
Flynn (FLAB), and Marshall Silk (FLAB)--as well as our out of town 
stewards Squeke O'Connor (PBD) and Steve Nelson (FLAB). Many thanks to the 
dedicated MASH members who assisted with the judging, stewarding, and 
logistics.

Additional thanks go to our Sponsors, the Titanic Brewery & Restaurant, 
Gordon Biersch, Wyeast, White Labs, Sierra Nevada, Boston Beer Company, 
and Brew Your Own magazine.

The results of the 2010 Coconut Cup are posted at 
http://www.miami-homebrew.org/coco-cup/CocoCup10_Results.html

Congratulations to the winners and to the winning club, the Miami Area 
Society of Homebrewers (MASH). We'll have the Cup engraved soon and it 
will return to its permanent home above the bar at the Titanic Brewery & 
Restaurant in Coral Gables.

We hope that you'll enter your brews in next year's Coconut Cup!
