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501(c)3 status rescinded.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 August. 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  $  418.84
      Unplanned expenditures ($  152.00)
Projected Excess/(Shortfall) ($  741.12)

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

it works great. i use it in my flasks when boiling up starters with no 
foaming hence no boil overs. if you have ever boiled wort in a flask you 
know how much of a pain in the rear it is trying to control the foam. i 
have used it a few times in the fermenter too, back when i only had a 5 
gallon fermenter. never blew a stopper. pretty amazing really. i never 
noticed any off flavors from using it and still had good head retention.
peace
jeff
