[THC] Home Club 9/11/09 updates

[Dr. L. A. Swihart]

WEBSITE http://www.tippyhomebrewers.org/welcome.html   Website front 
page is updated to show Scott's meeting on Sep 19th. 
Remind me to update if I ever let it lapse too much.  Tell me if you 
would like to help with it.  There is no rule that says I have to be the 
webmaster, and I'd be pleased to give it up to somebody else. 

EMAIL LIST welcomes a few new people every so often, and sometimes I 
remember to welcome them here.  Newest addition, welcome  is Damion 
Junk, West Lafayette.  Please anybody/everybody do not just lurk -- 
introduce yourself, tell us when you're going to GF or whatnot.  (Keep 
list emails on beer and brewing of course.)

BULLETIN BOARD -- Nancy will tell us when it's ready.  We will have a BB 
at the tippyhomebrewers.org site rather than on Joe Y's Purdue career 
account.  We owe Joe some beers for all the time he has hosted the BB.  
If he'd ever come out and hang out with us that is.  ;-)

CIDER TIME -- The cider Anita connects us up with made fantastic 
sparkling cider last fall.  I am going to be pressing my own juices this 
year since we apple trees (and a pretty loaded pear tree as well) but 
WHO'S GOING TO Great Fermentations for the cider sale pickup this year 
on Oct 10th?  That's Feast Saturday (Feast of the Hunters' Moon 
<http://www.tcha.mus.in.us/feast.htm>) and it's not impossible that I 
could go, but if somebody else is planning to go, let me know and I can 
help pay gas if you can get my 5 gal.  Order your cider at 
<http://www.greatfermentations.com/products.asp?dept=1175>. 

SCOTT'S MEETING Sep 19th.  Scott wrote (although it was formatted into 
paragraphs):  Greetings fellow brewers!     I will host the home brew 
group on Saturday Sept 19th
Start around Noon. I will cook chili if this cold weather keeps up!   I 
live at 4357 Fiddlesticks Dr.  Think 350 South and 9th Street; take 9th 
south to 400 South.  Turn RIGHT onto 400 South, you'll soon go down a 
hill.    At the bottom is Fiddlesticks Dr.   WARNING: Google maps has NO 
IDEA WHERE WE ARE. (and I submitted the info a few years ago...sigh)   
Yahoo maps got it right:

I usually put up the THC/hop sign on my Front Door   As usual: Bring 
some food and beer (home brew or interesting craft/commercial) to share. 
Bring your gear to brew if you want.  I have a home made wort chiller if 
you want to use it. If you need something special, ask, and maybe 
someone amongst the group will let you borrow equipment....hopefully my 
patio will be poured by then...otherwise it will be a garage gathering 
like last time.
Get your brew on!
