be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to  
spare for next year. Please consider it.

Subject: website for beer labels 

If you want to design and print labels for your bottles, 
here's an easy Flash website for making them: 

http://www.beerlabelizer.com/ 

I have no association with the website.  I only 
thought it is a quick & handy tool.

Subject: Oktoberfest Recipe? 

Does anyone have a really good Oktoberfest recipe that he/she would  
be willing to share? I've brewed several over the years, but have  
never made one that knocked my socks off. 

I generally use a base of Durst or Weyermann pils malt and have  
played around with the proportions of Munich, Vienna, and CaraMunich  
malts, but nothing has seemed spot on. 

I've also seen a couple of recipes that are primarily Vienna malt  
(80% or so) with a little Munich and CaraMunich to round things out,  
but I haven't tried that approach. 

Any suggestions?
