$190 for a 10 gallon brew pot is not all that outrageous.  If you go
to your local department store, they want $100 - $150 for a 16 quart
stainless steel pot with lid.  If you have an outlet mall nearby,
prices are more like $50 - $70.  Look for a Revere Factory outlet
store or Farberware Factory outlet.  They don't have 10 gallon pots, 
usually 4 - 5 gallon is the largest.  They do have the best prices.

In which brand of 95% water will I find the good ship SS Keg sunk?  I
have decided that it is a long time since I had a party and so I may
as well have a big one with a half barrel of American Light Lager and save
the keg afterwards to be cut down to a boiler.  But, as far as I know,
some kegs are contructed of a flammable ship building metal more 
successfully used for making aircraft that may impart a metallic taste
(and Alheimer's diesease :-) ) to my brew.  Rather than trying to convince
the purveyor of alcoholic beverages that I don't like the taste of beer
sold in Al kegs as ruse to finding out which ones are SS, or coming along
to pick up the keg and seeing that it is Al, hastily changing my order,
I would appreciate any net wisdom on the subject.

My wife always get the Stout and the Coke confused.  The bitter
stuff is roasted barley, which is also what adds the
distinctive irish stout flavour.  Wait a few years, until you're
used to drinking stuff with more flavor than the big commercial
beers, and try Guinness again.  You might be surprised at how
good it really is.

This week I have to bottle batch _3_ which is a stout I got from
the _The Cat's Meow_.  It tasted about right when I racked from
the primary to the secondary, so I'm hoping...

   Well, I guess some people like that stuff.  I went to a fabric store
recently looking for silk, and the silly sales person said "We have our
synthetic silks over there on that rack."  I was so annoyed that they 
didn't carry silk anymore, in favor of this rayon stuff.  Yuk.  They
had no REAL fabric there, just polyester blends and rayon.  Why is it
so difficult to find nice soft fabrics like 100% cotton, linen, and silk?
The synthetic fabrics just aren't the same. Sigh.

Actually, rayon IS a nice soft fabric, and it is on the borderline between
synthetic and natural.  It is manufactured from cellulose by humans.  It
is NOT a petroleum product.  I find that clothing made from rayon is as
comfortable as "natural" natural fibers (and I won't wear plastic clothes).
It IS irritating when you can't find what you're looking for (be it silk or
yellow), but please don't lump rayon in with polyester!

(Can you tell that I, too, have fondled the sand-washed rayon in my Minnesota
Fab??  I haven't actually purchased any.  Yet.)

Has anyone tried the Natural Fiber Fabric Club? I'm thinking of
subscribing to several fabric clubs for a year, just to see what they're
like. Does anyone out there have any experience of any clubs?

BTW, there's a wonderful source of silks in the Bay Area at Thai Silks
on State Street in Los Altos. What a fantastic store! I just bought some
beautiful yellow silk noile for about $6 a yard. The noile and several
of their other fabrics can be washed in hot water and dried on hot to
give a `sandwashed' feel. 

They have a free brochure - call 800 221 SILK in California, and 
800 722 SILK outside the state.

Dear Lauren:  

Crewel (as I understand it) is a type of embroidery
but not all embroidery is crewel.  After that, I know
nuthink!  

However...
Why don't you make up your own sampler?  My favorite
embroidery books (Mary Thomas') make the point that, 
before embroidery books were widely available, the 
sampler was the needleperson's way of "taking notes" 
and learning the stitch.   

I myself am inexplicably
taken with the looks of several (well, 30 or so) 
band and border stitches Thomas demonstrates, so I 
am in the process of deciding which stitch to use on
various lines of a geometrical design I sketched out one
night.  When I have my ideas in some sort of order, 
I'll do the actual stitching--with yarn on burlap, just 
for fun and because my eyes are weak and my hands get
too beat up in the garden for a lot of fine work this
time of year.  When I'm finished--probably it'll take 
less time to *do* than to plan--I'll know a lot more 
than the few simple stitches I know today!     and 
LOOK at all the fun I'll have had... I recommend the
experience.

Bon chance!

Somehow, I came home with 3-1/2 yards of purple sandwashed rayon (and

Is this prewashed or do I need to wash it?  If I need to, is it so ravel-y
that I should serge the cut ends?  

Can I serge these garments or should I sew them conventionally?  If I do
the latter, do I need to serge the edges to keep them from ravelling?
