One of my local homebrew customers, Bill Wolfe, forwarded me this link to a pretty cool contest. If you use any Danstar dry yeasts (Nottingham, Windsor, Munich), save the empty packets and send them to Danstar to win a pro brewing course! See the website for details, and best of luck!

My daughter-in-law Jo happened to be buying ingredients for a batch when a reporter was doing a story on my old friend Anne Whyte and her homebrew supply shop in Winooski… Jo had the wisdom and forethought to make sure she mentioned me!

A reader shared this link with me this morning, thought everyone might enjoy it. Note the prominent mention of Burlington Vermont and the VPB! Thanks, Helene!
