A Trip for Two to South Africa for One Lucky Supporter - $100 Donation
We’ve still got chances for a lucky supporter to jet set to South Africa! When a supporter
buys our Supporters Pack ($100), along with receiving a 15 month calendar, a bracelet, a
bumper sticker and a toy rhino, they also go into the draw to win a trip for two to South
Africa to visit wildlife parks and see the rhino for themselves. Either purchase this on the
Imakeshop (ITEM#: RHINO1) or contact Imake customer service. Thank you to everyone
who has already donated, you are making a difference!

As most of you know now Imake has launched a
charitable trust called Imake a Difference. This trust
has been created to help save the rhino in South Africa.
Rhinos are being poached by internationl crime
syndicates for their horns. They recovered from near
extinction in the 1980s, but are now being killed in
unprecedented numbers and once again face
extinction if this slaughter isn’t halted. We need to act
decisively, and swiftly, to help save the rhino from
extinction - and we need your help.

A RECIPE from Millie
Savoury Spinach and bacon ricotta cakes
Ingredients:
• Olive Oil
• 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 Onion finely diced
• 180g of Bacon (or Pancetta)
• 200g Thawed Frozen Spinach (squeezed of excess moisture)
• 1 Batch of Mad Millie Ricotta from 2L of Full Fat Milk
• 4 Eggs
• ½ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese (or Pecorino)
• Salt and Pepper to Taste
• Spray Oil (for greasing the tin)
Spinach and
Bacon ricott
a cakes
Method:
• Pre-heat oven to 200°C.
• Lightly grease 12 – 24 muffin tins (depending on muffin tin size) with the oil spray and dust with breadcrumbs to lightly cover the surfaces.
• In a frying pan, heat the oil over a medium heat and cook the onions and bacon (or pancetta) until the onions have softened and the bacon has started to brown. Then add the spinach to the onions and bacon, and fry for a further 5 minutes or until the spinach mixture no longer looks to wet. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
• In a bowl lightly whisk the eggs until they are slightly lighter in colour, then add the parmesan, ricotta, spinach mixture, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix through thoroughly.
• Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tins and bakes for 15 – 20 minutes or until they have browned nicely.

Cider Making
spiced apple cider,
For your next batch, Mad Millie has
taken crisp cider apples and coupled
them with cinnamon and spice. Best
served warm on a cool winter’s eve.
Gift idea for father’s day
Does your dad like making things at home? How about giving him a
Mad Millie Cider Starter Kit this Father’s day. The starter kit includes
everything your dad needs to make 9 L of his own refreshingly crisp
apple cider at home. Nothing beats a nice cold cider after a hard day’s
work, and what’s better, he can say he made it himself. Bottles are
750ml so are great to share when the guys come around for a few drinks.
He can also make Pear and Strawberry & Pear flavours for his next
batch. The winter flavour sensation, spiced apple will be available for
Father’s day too. A warm cider, great to drink during the cold winter
months.
Still Spirits is an expert provider in equipment, flavours and stills to make your own quality
spirits at home.

RRP: $750 (save $100)
Store tastings
We have recently completed some research on our Still Spirits’ target customers. It was found that customers
want to be able to try flavours before they purchase as they don’t want to waste their spirits on a flavour they
don’t enjoy. To overcome this we think it is important that stores have a range of spirits available for tasting. If
you are interesting in making samples and displaying these in your store let your sales manager know.
Important information - T500 Boiler
We have been experiencing a fault with our T500 boiler. Although the percentage of
this fault found is on as little as .084% of boilers, safety of our customers always comes
first. The concern is the brass nut which was originally used to hold the tap in place. We
have found that the brass nut has the potential to become brittle if knocked during storage or
usage. This means that there is a small chance the tap could fall off.
Boilers manufactured since October 2012 now have a stainless steel nut. This ensures
resistance to heat and corrosion, meaning they are not at risk. The boilers manufactured
before this time can be clearly identified. These are boilers without stickers on the base with
a production date and serial number as shown.
We have stainless steel nuts available for customers with older models. We can either send
these directly to customers who need them and they can replace the nut themselves or we
can send them to you so you can replace these for customers. Contact us if you need these.
Please make sure you pass this information on to your regular customers. For those of you
who have a customer database please also email this out to them so we can inform as many
people as possible.
IMPORTANT
Boiler becomes very hot during operation, extreme care needs to be taken. Please ensure you advise your
customers to always position the tap of the boiler over the sink to avoid handling the hot boiler when
emptying contents. Also ensure other persons, especially children are kept well clear during and after operation
of the boiler.

Chocolate milk stout recipe
The weather is turning, the days are shorter and the mornings are crisp, so the brewer’s mind is
starting to turn to darker beers. With this in mind we thought we would do something a little
different. So here we are, the Chocolate Milk Stout.
Original Gravity: 1.055
Expected Final Gravity: 1.023 (it is meant to be high as the lactose balances out all of that dark
malt)
Expected ABV: 5%
