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501(c)3 status rescinded.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.

Expended against projection $ 418.84
Unplanned expenditures ($ 152.00)
Projected Excess/(Shortfall) ($ 741.12)

Subject: RE: Coffee in an RIS
I haven't tried the french press or cold steeping methods, but I love how
my stouts turn out when adding coarsely cracked light roast beans to the
secondary. I placed 3rd in NHC regionals last year with this method. I
used 3 ounces of Ethiopian roast in a secondary for about 1.5-2 days, then
chill it down to drop the grounds to the bottom of the carboy and rack off
the top. Just be careful not to get lazy and leave them in there more than
2.5-3 days.

Subject: Got maple syrup, what should I brew?
The recent post on coffee got me thinking about other things to add to a
brew when i remembered that my friend mentioned that his parents have a
surplus of maple syrup from the last harvest and he offered some up for a
brew a while back. I've used maple in maybe one recipe years ago and don't
remember it having much of an obvious maple-y impact on the final product.
Any ideas for styles that maple syrup goes well with and can really
complement the flavor? Any suggestions on the grade of syrup
(assuming I have a choice) to use for the best flavor and best way to add
it?
Looking forward to your responses,
David
