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 31 May 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501(c)3 status rescinded.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.

Subject: Contamination problem
Hi all you brewers out there. I have a comment/question with which hopefully
someone can help me.
I've been brewing a honey amber ale for a while now; the OG is about
mid-60s, FG around 12, using Fermentis Safbrew T58 yeast. Recently the
batches seem to come out nicely after secondary/conditioning in the bottle,
but invariably get very sour after one or two weeks stored in a warm room.
This had never happened before, so I assume some bug has been getting
to the beer before it is drunk. The first thing I did was to change blowoff
hoses, soak my auto-siphon in lye for a day, and stop using my iodophor
more than twice. The problem has persisted, so I did a little research.
Considering the vinegary/sour flavor and the fact that the problem seems to
occur in the bottles, I am thinking it is some Aceto-bacter bug. It is
apparently
very persistent, and is hard to eradicate from the plastic equipment, so I'm
tossing racking bucket, auto-siphon, etc.
Any additional help on the issue? Anybody out there had this problem?
Why don't I drink it instead of storing it, you may ask? I'm trying to start
a
microbrewery, so I've been selling the beer, which makes it impossible for
me
to control what happens to it before it is consumed.
Thanks!
