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 19 Jan 2011
*** Condition: Guarded ***
Projected 2011 Budget $3271.04
Expended against projection $ 950.64
Projected Excess/(Shortfall) ($1418.80)

As always, donors and donations are publicly acknowledged

From: National Midnight Star Brewery <nmstarbrewery at gmail.com>
Subject: Olive Oil

I have agreed to research and informally present to my local club
information around using
Olive Oil in brewing. I remember seeing an article a while back in
either Zymurgy or BYO
but finding my specific magazine may be a bit difficult. If anyone
has any information, links,
articles, or personal experiences that they would like to share, it
will really help me out.
I appreciate any and all thoughts!

Also, please remember to support the HBD, both with the server fund
and with traffic...so if you
don't mind the world reading your thoughts (on Olive Oil specifically
in my case), post them
to the HBD.
