Sunday Coupon Preview Virginia Small Business Grants -Resources and Grants for Small Businesses in Virginia Do not fall for the hype – the truth about grants is that very few if any federal grants are available to individuals. The federal government does, however, award grants to state and local governments to help them with economic development, and these are the grants you might be able to take advantage of in financing your small business. For example, some states provide grants for expanding child care centers; creating energy efficient technology; and developing marketing campaigns for tourism. Among the business financing resources listed below, you might find a suitable grant. These grants are not necessarily free money, and usually require the recipient to match funds or combine the grant with other forms of financing such as a loan. If you cannot find a grant available from the state financial resources shown below, do not give up!

Introduction Introduction There are many good books on homebrewing currently available, so why did I write one you ask? The answer is: a matter of perspective. Here is a synopsis of the brewing process: Malted barley is soaked in hot water to release the malt sugars.The malt sugar solution is boiled with Hops for seasoning.The solution is cooled and yeast is added to begin fermentation.The yeast ferments the sugars, releasing CO2 and ethyl alcohol.When the main fermentation is complete, the beer is bottled with a little bit of added sugar to provide the carbonation. Sounds fairly simple doesn't it? As an engineer, I was intrigued with the process of beermaking. Fortunately for me, I discovered the Internet and the homebrewing discussion groups it contained. As time went by, and I moved on to Partial Mashes (half extract, half malted grain) and All-Grain Brewing, I actually saw requests on the 'Net from brewers requesting "Palmer-type" documents explaining these more complex brewing methods.
