thanks guys, appricate the tips. Revvy sounds like a need to get myself a Vinator.

Hi guys, Bit of a silly question perhaps but I’m wondering if anybody sanitizes their bottles in advance of bottling day? I use flip top bottles and was hoping I could sanitize them and put the lids down to seal them. That way I could shave quite a bit of time off when I bottle next week...

cool, thanks guys. I'll give that a shot.

Sorry to start a new thread but I can't seem to find an answer for this one. When is it too late to take a FG hydro reading? I bottled up my homebrew last weekend but could not get a FG reading because my wife "accidentally" broke my hydrometer. I know it's not the end of the world not...

Yep it was an extract batch - 4lbs DME and 2lbs LME. I'll see if I can get the fermenter in a warmer room for some time. Thanks for the advise guys.

thanks for the advice guys - much appreciated.

i've ordered from homebrewcanada and though they were great. Fantastic email support and communication.
