MEADS AND STRONG CIDERS
http://www.negia.net/~brew/blind_icecider.html
Our website above has details on our latest blind evaluation of Meads (honey
wines) and Ice Ciders. Ice Ciders are special products from frigid Canada that
use apples that have frozen over winter on the tree, or apple juice that has
been pressed in winter and allowed to stay outside in the cold to concentrate
and then ferment slowly. You have to taste these incredible beverages to
believe them! Click on the link for all the details.
OWEN TO JUDGE AT GABF
I'm heading out to Denver at the end of September to help with the judging at
the 2003 Great American Beer Festival. When I return, I'll be sure to include
photos and information on the winners and behind-the-scenes happenings at the
festival in the next Brewsletter. I can't wait!
BEER TIP OF THE MONTH
If you are homebrewing and using only chlorine bleach to clean and sanitize
your equipment, think again. More and more research shows that using bleach
alone does a very poor job at cleaning the protein coatings and buildup in
carboys and hoses. Use a powerful, activated oxygen cleanser from your
homebrew store. This will thoroughly clean your equipment, then you can
sanitize with bleach.

That's about all for now. Take care and remember to always drink responsibly
and support homebrewing and craft-brewed beers whenever possible! (Owen
