Here is the new version of the brewing on line list. I am hoping that 
it will be added to the archives of the HBD for future reference.

Commercial Networks:

COMPUSERVE
There's a very active beer and homebrew forum on the CompuServe
Information Service, sharing online quarters with the wine forum. Unlike
Internet, this is not a "free" service; CompuServe charges from $6 an hour
(300 bps) to $21/hr (9600 bps) for online time, but the wide participation and
quick interactivity make it another outstanding online option for brewers. 

PRODIGY
In the U.S., there's now a dial-up service called Prodigy, run
by IBM and Sears.  It contains a number of BBSs, including one on
Beers & Brewing (under the "Food and Wine" umbrella).  It's much
more informal than the internet forums, and there's a lot of
chatter. Serious brewers might be turned off by the low signal-to-noise ratio.
Prodigy costs $14.95/month and requires an IBM-style or Macintosh PC.  There 
are no hourly connect charges because each new display page contains 
advertisements.

********************

BBS's:

There is a new BBS dedicated to brewing information. It post daily issues of 
Homebrew Digest and is in the process of archiving all information 
on brewing available:
Jami Chism
System Operator
The Party Line BBS
717-868-5435
4 lines, all 14,400bps v.32bis


The Better Brewing Bureau

SySop: Russ Pencin (Mountain View, CA)
Local brewing chat, HBD Archived.
Not very active these days, but still running.

RIME network (international BBS net) has a BEER conferance.
RIME is a BBS network, similer to FIDO.  Around 2000 BBSs in North America,
Europe, and the Middle East take part in it.  Ways to find one
near you;  call a couple of popular (multiline) BBSs and ask someone
who is on RIME to ask about them (not all BBSs carry all
conferances, so I would ask in the COMMON (required) and the BEER conferances.
Two more ideas, ask for local node information through the digest, a file does
exist which lists the current nodes.


John DeCarlo
System Operator
No Tarmac Brewing BBS
703-525-3715
1 line, 14,400bps v.32bis
Fidonet: 1:109/131

As there are dozens or hundreds of BBSes participating in ZYMURGY, each of
them undoubtedly has other brewing information.

For Canadian Homebrewers:

The Canadian Amateur Brewers Association (CABA) is a non-profit organization
whose purpose is to promote homebrewing as an enjoyable hobby through
educational publications, events, and other activties.

                                CABA
                                19 Cheshire Dr.

                                M9B 2N7

I can forward information if anyone needs it. This is not on-line, I just 
thought other Canadian homebrewers might be interested.
