Hopefully I wrote you a good sheet! Congrats on placing in your first comp, great accomplishment! I hope you keep entering! It's tough to remember specific beers, but I always do my best. I usually find myself on the organizing side of comps over here in Toronto so I do my best to drive to...

I'm glad to hear you have a good experience with your first BJCP comp, I drove out from Toronto to judge. Don't forget, there are only 4 days left to register and drop off your entries for Brew Slam, so it's coming up quick! Full details here: https://www.gtabrews.ca/brew-slam/

I think you'll find that Toronto Brewing has much fresher ingredients, and better overall experience than CHS in Brampton. It's been a few years since I trekked out to CHS, but Randy used to be infamous for his rude treatment of eager customers. Also, I see you are from Toronto! Have you...

Hey There! I see you are from Toronto! Have you considered joining us over at GTA Brews? (https://www.facebook.com/groups/GTA.Brews/) I've seen you post a lot on instagram! Cheers, Eric

If you are in Canada just stick with: http://www.omega.ca/pptst_eng/PHH-7000.html Replacement probes for MW102 and Hach Pocket Pro+ aren't really available up here...

Nice post Olan! Thanks for the shout out!

I have an Omega 7011 and love it. It replaced my Hanna pHep 5 after it crapped out. It responds much faster than my old pHep 5 and seems to hold the calibration quite well. Calibrated it for the first time in 6 months yesterday and it wasn't off by more than 0.02 Very happy with it...

homebrewbeliever, how did this work out for you? I am thinking of doing the same thing for my wedding. The kegs would start cold but warm up over a few hours as they are served. I am looking at a 7 pass cold plate and doing a 4 tap jockey box. 3 of the taps would be doubled up, and 1 of them...

Quick Update: Had this burner going since March 2013 and on my 30th batch last night the internal fuse blew. I opened it up and soldered a wire over it temporarily but will have to find another fuse or breaker to replace it. Cheers, Eric

How are you temperature controlling it?

Hey Everyone, I think a few might people have already joined the club through this thread but I just wanted to jump in and introduce the club anyways. GTA Brews is a relatively new club to Toronto, almost a year old now with 160 members and rising. We've been meeting pretty much monthly...

Part of the noise is just buzzing from my phone's microphone. The 3500 does have a fan on it though, and it isn't silent (but not super loud).

I use a 10 gal Bayou Classic on my Avantco 3500. Works fine, been brewing like that for 20 batches now.

Gilberson and Page in Fergus, ON will sell to homebrewers. They distribute Wyermann, Muntons, and Canada Malting. http://gilbertsonandpage.com/ Also, I'm pretty sure that OBK and TorontoBrewing are cheaper than beergrains.com and bigger selection.

Not sure why you say there are no good stores in Ontario... There are two amazing homebrew stores in Ontario that ship nationwide cheap and quick. In general they are both better than 90% of USA homebrew stores since they both have really great selection and prices lower than most USA...
