NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to 
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.

***      Condition:  Green & Healthy      ***
501(c)3 revoked in process of retroactive reinstatement.

       Projected 2011 Budget  $3671.04
 Expended against projection  $1949.15

Subject: 2011 Homebruin Cup

The Tennessee Valley Homebrewers of Knoxville, Tennessee in conjunction with
the Tennessee Valley Fair are holding the 2011 Homebruin Cup competition.

Entries are restricted to Tennessee residents and are being accepted now:

http://www.knoxhomebrewer.com/

Judging will take place on August 27, 2011 at the Downtown Grill & Brewery
in Knoxville. Judges, stewards, and participants can all register on the
site. If you are an out of town judge, there is a block of rooms at the
Knoxville Crowne Plaze Hotel (only a block away from the judging site) for
$99/$109. Just mention the Tennessee Valley Home Brewers when registering to
get the rate.

We are not expecting a lot of entries this year, so chances of placing are
high, please be sure to enter soon. Entries can be mailed to the fair office
plus we are having two local drop offs. All the details are on the website.

thanks,

Paul

Subject: sankey couplers

I'm getting ready to purchase a couple of sankey couplers and found that are
several different ones out there. At Kegworks:

http://www.kegworks.com/

When you go to their keg couplers page, you find 2 regular couplers (at $28
and $30) and 2 stainless (at $33 and $43). So what's the differences between
what they have?

I can see that some of the others are special, one with a T handle, another
low profile, but nothing to tell you what to expect different in the others.

thanks,

Paul
