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.






Financial Projection as of 25 January 2013
***      Condition:  Cautiously Optimistic      ***
501(c)3 status rescinded. Refiled 1023 for retroactive 
status 25 June 2012. Per the IRS, our case must be 
assigned to an agent. IRS is currently assigning 
applications received in March 2012. Ours was received
in late June. To current financials, HBD is officially 
bankrupt in July. Due to recent developments, HBD.org 
will likely have to be dissolved per the bylaws once 
funding runs out. 
       Projected 2012 Budget  $3,145.01
 Expended against projection  $   85.95
      Unplanned expenditures  $    0.00
Projected Excess/(Shortfall) ($1,194.50)

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

Subject: Re: Frozen Beer

  I've jacked mead before in my home refrigerator. I only did a quart or 
so as an experiment. I put it in the freezer for about 20 minutes until 
there was a thin crust of ice on the surface, skimmed it off and put it 
back in the freezer for 5 or 6 cycles. Eventually it no longer made an 
ice crust. It made a nice thick rich mead.
  I suspect just one cycle might not be enough to make much difference.
  Let us know how it turns out.
