Subject: Wyeast Problems?
If any of you used Wyeast #2206 (Bavarian Lager) recently and had
infection problems, please contact me. I believe that a packet I used
recently (December 1989 date code) was bad, but I would like more
evidence.
It was a very serious bacterial infection which produced a strong
sulphery oder, much like 2-tube epoxy glue. (Yuck!)
Luckily, I noticed the infection in the yeast starter *before* I
pitched it into my hard-won wort, so I was able to keep from ruining
my brew.

Subject: The Beer Hunter
[Disclaimer: I don't have cable TeeVee, so flame me if this is old news :-]
Saw a couple of episodes of something called ``The Beer Hunter''. Narrated
by Michael Jackson, it's much like his book, The World Guide to Beer.
Excellent program, informative, humourous, and picturesque.
My mole gave me a edit-preview video, and says he expects it to air on the
Discover Channel in about three weeks. Watch for it!
