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501(c)3 status rescinded.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)

From: "Jones, Steve (IT)" <stjones at eastman.com>
Subject: Coffee in an RIS
In the interest of getting some traffic on HBD after the mail snafu, here is
my contribution.
I brewed a Russian Imperial Stout on BigBrew day, and now I'm thinking I'd
like to add some coffee to it. I really like the Stone Espresso Imperial
Russian Stout, and would like to get a similar degree of coffee flavor ...
just enough to notice, but not enough to be prominent.
I've never added coffee to a brew before, and have read of many ways to do
it: add grounds to secondary; steep grounds in a bag like dry hopping; cold
steep grounds in water and add the strained water to secondary; etc.
I roast my own coffee, so I can roast it to whatever degree is best.
Any suggestions?
And what about a coffee IPA?
