Subject: dry wheat yeast 

Wow, that's great news! I've been waiting for a dried wheat yeast for ages 
and now there are two available (Safale has a new wheat yeast as 
well)....One question: does the Danstar yeast produce enough flavour and 
aroma to satisfy we Weizen fans? 

Looking forward to getting a chance to find out!

Subject: Fundraising Update 

Greetings, Beerlings! Take me to your lager... 

Thanks to all who have come forward to the aid of the HBD. In only 10 
days, we've managed to raise over $1300 toward the goal of $4558 (first 
year of T1 service; alternatively, to goal of covering the current 
contract expense of $2925). It was great to see many of the same who come 
forward each time the HBD is in need, and it was also gratifying to see 
several new names as well. 

There remains only three days before the discounted T1 offer expires - and 
that's maybe for the best. I am researching other modes of faster local 
hosting but expect that I will have to bow to economic forces and 
"offshore" the HBD as many have suggested I do. Hopefully our volunteer 
codeslinger Anton will have rendered the HBD scripts portable by the end 
of this contract's term - T minus 15 months and counting... 

All the best! 
Pat Babcock 
Chief of HBD Janitorial Services

Subject: Proper welding for valves 

First of, it's been a couple years since I last brewed.  I now have a   
garage, and I'm excited to start again.  Up to this point I've been   
using the weldless ballvalve couplings that use a high temp silicone   
gasket and s.s. washers to fasten my ballvalves onto my mashtun ans   
HLT and boil kettle.  It's a bit of a hassle to pull everything apart   
and I'm concerned about the heat melting the gaskets (it's deformed   
them in the past)  I'd like to get a sanitary weld, what do I need to   
know?  Can anyone recommend someon in the Portland/Beaverton area? 

Thanks
