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.

Subject: Compost
Ant, I never met you, but I miss you.
Compost:
I have fooled (literally) around with it for 6
or 7 years. Learn a little, composted a
lot. At the end of the cycle always had
good stuff for the garden. Now I have the
task of talking about it at the next brew
club meeting. Anyone have any pointers
or info to pass along?
I have learned you need a lot of aeration,
and brown matter when you throw 30
pounds (dry weight) of grain in to the
compost pile.

Subject: Re: In Memorium, Ant Hayes 1970-2011 (Jeff Renner)
I've been sitting here stunned for the past 30 minutes after reading
today's HBD. Ant was a great inspiration to many of us and profoundly
broadened understanding of English styles among judges and homebrewers
in the US. He always seemed upbeat and positive and loved to talk with
other homebrewers. I'll never forget the time he introduced a real
Southern English Brown ale to dozens of us at the Cincinnati AHA.
Last year at Minnesota, Ant's top-notch presentation on Bitters gave us
a better understanding of Boys Bitter, Golden Ale, Burton Ale, and
others. He explained the meaning of the phrase "gone for a Burton".
When I remember Ant, I'll think of him sitting in a pub somewhere,
enjoying the best Burton Ale he's ever tasted.

Subject: Distinguishing between yeast strains microscopically
Can anyone point me to a way to distinguish between various yeast strains
microscopically? I suspect that there are not large differences
morphologically between various ale strains, but perhaps there are notable
microscopically differences between ale and lager strains and perhaps between
brewers yeast strains versus wild yeast.
