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.

Greetings from the members of the Miami Area Society of Homebrewers (MASH)
in Miami, FL.
It is almost time for this year's Coconut Cup homebrew competition. We are
accepting all of the BJCP categories, as well as our special COCONUT BREW
category.
Entries are due before February 24th, 2012. Please use the on-line entry
form available at the Coconut Cup website,
http://www.miami-homebrew.org/coconut.html .
Final judging will take place on March 2nd and 3rd. Please contact me if
you are interested in judging. We will have some fun activities planned
for out-of-town judges.
I hope to see you (or at least your beers and meads) in Miami!
Scott Graham

Subject: Blichmann Engineering
I have upgraded my system to the Blichmann Boilermaker for the mash tun and
kettle with great results. In the course of my latest batch, I dropped one
of the lids on the garage floor and one of the spot welds on the handle
popped loose. I contacted Blichmann Engineering through the link on their
web site for suggestions on what to do. Within a few hours I received an
email from John Blichmann (on a Saturday!) apologizing for any
inconvenience. He asked for my address and promised to send a replacement.
Within less than a week, a new lid was at my door. Blichmann makes a
top-of-the-line product, and they back it up with top-of-the-line service.
