meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3500
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.

Thanks all for the comments.
I have racked the beer into secondary and it seems to be ok.

I will bottle some and keg the rest
I want to see if the smell disappears in the bottle.
I know the aroma will dissipate when I burp the keg.

Regards,
Rowan

From: "Mike Patient" <mpatient at rta.biz>
Subject: RE: Beer in the Bible

While I was originally thinking, what is this spam, after reading it, in the
least it is beer history.
What I was wondering is if they even though of spirits and beer/wine to
contain the same uplifting ingredient.  
They were probably considered two different things to do to your body.  
It probably wasn't until science and chemistry was taken into account that
we realized they are the same thing, and equally dangerous.  
Their condemnation of spirits was falsely placed where it should have been
on, indulgence.

Ohh, the things we know now.

Subject: Nottingham yeast

We have received a few inquiries regarding Nottingham batch #
1080961099V exp. date: 12/2011 which have lead us to comments on
homebrew forums regarding fermentation problems.  While our tests on
this batch of yeast have shown normal fermentation performance and many
of the comments on forums show others having normal performance with
this batch, unfortunately we also note with serious concern the comments
of brewers who have reported poor performance. Accordingly we feel we
should stop the sale of this particular batch of yeast, given the
concerns of homebrewers, as we work to investigate further.

We have asked distributors and homebrew retailers to return any yeast
from this batch to us for replacement. If you have sachets from this
batch of yeast please return them to us and we will replace them with a
different batch. Please feel free to send the sachet(s) for replacement
to:

Lallemand Inc.
Attn: Marie Coppet
6100 Royalmount
Montreal, QC, Canada
H4P 2R2

If you have any questions, please contact me at klemcke at lallemand.com.
Thanks very much.
