    Ontario homebrewers where do you buy cans?

    I just bought a cannular pro system and a filling station, just wondering what the options are for buying cans. BSG, Vessel etc? Anyone interested in a group buy, splitting a skid possibly?

    Brewing a stout and need a little help with water profile

    I'll be using RO water so water will need to be adjusted, I typically brew IPA styles and have a pretty good feel for the adjustments for that style but I'm trying to use the advanced water chemistry and I'm not certain which profile to choose. Any suggestions for a stout 10 lb 2 row 1 lb pale...

    Not hitting OG with BIAB system

    So I decided to switch from a fairly primitive propane system to electric to make brewing in the winter months a little more appealing, I bought a 20 gallon brew in a basket system from clawhammer supply. This system works very nice however I feel like I may have made too big of a jump, I was...

    used brewing equipment

    This may have been brought up before and I apologize if I overlooked it but does brewers friend have or maybe should have a classifieds section for equipment? I believe that there is always a need (yeah right) to upgrade your brewhouse, I've had pretty good feedback on the beer I have made so...

    When do you consider fermentation to be complete

    As the intro suggests I'm looking for input regarding when you consider fermentation to be complete. For example, I just brewed a blonde ale on Saturday, pitched the yeast (dry) Saturday afternoon and by midnight it was starting to bubble in the airlock. Sunday and Monday had pretty vigorous...

    Brewing cream ale

    I have just completed my first brew that was a blonde ale, it was tasty but a tiny bit too much towards the citrus side of the scale for me. I'm leaning towards a cream ale for the next one but I get the impression there are some tricky steps to get it right. Any suggestions or experiences with...

    First one is in the fermenter!

    Finally pulled the trigger on the first brew and I think it went fairly well. I definitely need to get some sort of sparge arm going for the next one and need to run a blank run to get more accurate volume losses but overall happy with the results so far. ,,,

    First brew

    So I assume there may be some less than novice brewers here that can provide their experience. I'm pretty much ready to pull the trigger on my first brew, the question is what will it be and what is a realistic starting point. the options are limitless really but eventually, I will have to...

    Pre milled grains

    I was checking out a local supplier for grains etc and they offer whole grains or crushed grains, so my question is what kind of time frame is there for crushed grains to lose some of their "freshness", I assume over a period of time the quality deteriorates to some extent? delivery would most...

    hey gang!

    I'm just getting started collecting bits and pieces to brew. Really looking forward to reading about and learning to brew. It sure seems like I struck gold being introduced to the site, gallons of info available! hoping to be brewing in another month or so.
