SC - Coleman oven

[Laura C. Minnick]

Poor Adamantius screv:
 (and how come nobody on this list warned me valerian stinks so bad???)
	Dude, sorry, I would've told you if you'd asked.  It stinks.  Really
bad.  It has volunteered all over my yard, and while it's pretty, the
blooms and especially the bruised stems smell like ripe, sweaty socks. 
When the dogs go out running through it, I can smell it on them for days.

	Yes, yes, I know all about the legality issues, I'm trying to find out
what the parameters are, I guess.  I think your answer above tells me
what I was assuming, (and we all know where that will get you), that
near-beer is presumably close to small beer.  Would near-beer be ok to
serve at an event?  If so, and you made something that was under whatever
the allowable  %  of alcohol was, can you serve it?  (For the purposes of
this argument, let's assume we're not talking about donated goods, but
raw materials purchased with feast funds, then turned into fizzy drinks.)
 
	
Still questing for answers, when yet more questions come up,
