Deborah reminded me to add this. I was mentioned in an article about homebrewing in one of the Fort Wayne papers. Not everything in the article is as I said it or intended but it's not a bad article. Here it is.

And then, a few weeks later, I sent a message to Charlie Papazian and it ended up in his Beer Examiner blog-ish thing. Hit more below to see how this went...

Here's what I initially sent:

Hey Charlie. I have a friend who says that you'd enjoy a version of your Goat Scrotum I made last year. I substituted a dash of smoked jalepenos and a half a dash of smoked habeneros for the six fresh jalepenos in your recipe. It earned the name Burning Goat Scrotum. It's a batch from last winter, but it's a stable beer. If you happen to make it to the AHA rally in Indiana later this month, I'll send some down with one of the club guys. Otherwise, I'll save a bottle for you. Cheers! Ben Fort Wayne, IN

Within a minute, he sent a note that he wouldn't be in Bloomington, but would enjoy getting a bottle. Then I went to his Examiner page and saw this the next day.

So there you have it. Two major mentions in about a month.
