NOTE: as a non-USENET BBS BREWNET serves the brewing community of
the DC/VA/MD metro area with links across the country.
Here is a partial list of our active files & we are definitely
looking to expand. By the by, HB Digest is a great service
and we store archives of the message base via the USENET/FIDO
gateway.

Subject: Digest Indices
Sorry about cluttering up the digests with the indices (OK, table of contents
summaries) but I thought that they were useful. The concensus that I get from
the digest messages and personal ones, is that most people would like them
sent as separate messages. I am underprivleged and not on a UNIX system, so I
can't do some of the fancy search utilities. I also store my digests in
compressed archive format and have to uncompress them if I want to look at
one. If I have an idea which one to get, it takes less time. As far as the
subjects go, I mentioned in my initial posting that I have not done any
editing of the subject lines. The ones for September have been edited, but
the other 10 months would take too long to go through. I am editing them as I
reeive them so it iis easier now.
I have sent all the indices that I have so far, to the homebrew archives at
mthvax.cs.miami.edu for those that want to get them. I can also arrange with
Rob to have them sent out in a mass mailing if that would be ok with everyone
else. There are 6 more left (Nov88-May89 except Feb89) to send.

Subject: Holiday Beer Recipes Wanted
This weekend, I saw my first Christmas display of the season in
a local store. I took this as a sign that it was not too
early to think about end-of-year/holiday brews. So:
Anyone have a tasty holiday recipe to share?

Subject: missing issues
I have just started to receive the Homebrew Digest again. Our uunet
connection was down. During this time, I missed #'s 230 - 254.
Could someone send me copies if they have these? (For that matter,
the first Digest I received was # 101. Does anyone have copies of #
1 - 100?)
Thanks for your help. As a novice brewer, the information obtained
on this mailing list is priceless.

For those that haven't seen the "Zymurgy" article, it should be pointed
out that the Honeywell is just a thermostat. It doesn't have a built in
remote thermometer with LCD readout, battery protected clock, etc.
The only thing the Honeywell unit has that I wish the Hunter had is an
adjustable "span". I know I've probably used the wrong term. What I mean
is a way of saying "turn on X degrees above and turn off Y degrees below
the set point".
Also, "more work to install" is an understatement. I'd count in at least
a few hassle equivalent dollars to the real cost of the Honeywell unit for
a more fair comparison.
