Dear valued customer,
 >
 > We are announcing 2 new policies regarding sales of
 > hops and grains.
 >
 > First, due to the ongoing hop shortage, we must
 > further limit sales of hops. Quantities of hops
 > ordered must be matched by sufficient quantities of
 > malt. Specifically, for each ounce of hops in an
 > order, 2 pounds of grain malt must be purchased OR
 > for every 2 ounces of hops in an order, 1 3.3 lb can
 > of malt extract or 3 lb bag of dried malt extract
 > must be purchased. We are no longer able to fill
 > orders of hops only. Additionally, there is a
 > limit of 5 ounces of any single variety that may
 > be sold at one time. We believe these requirements
 > will allow for liberal hopping in your recipes while
 > still insuring enough hops will continue to be
 > available to our regular customers.
 >
 > The hop shortage is expected to continue until the
 > 2009 harvest.
 > We continue to be confident that there will be a
 > sufficient hop supply and that homebrewers, always
 > at the forefront of recipe experimentation, will
 > develop new and interesting recipes.
 >
 > Second, due to increased energy and labor costs, we
 > are compelled to charge for grain grinding,
 > effective immediately. The charge will be 20 cents
 > per pound of grain ground. Plus we cannot extend
 > bulk or other discounts to grain ground.
 >
 > To ease the burden of grinding your own grain if
 > you're not already doing so, we are offering $5.00
 > off the purchase of a Corona Grain Mill and $10.00
 > off the purchase of a Schmidling Malt Mill. Both
 > mills are adjustable and do a great job. This
 > special offer extends through February 2, 2008.
 >
 > As always, we appreciate your business.
