Seems there are some undissolved particles when you mix it up but if I think some of those particles are left on any equipment I just give it a rinse. I've done 11 Brew House and Festa Brew kits now sterilizing with Oxy-san for a few minutes and not had a problem yet.

I never did add anything to my Wheat beer. I chickened out. It's ready for tasting and real good. I'm very happy with it and it's only going to get better. It tastes better all ready. I just started a Honey Blond Ale today and at the spur of the moment, zested 3 oranges and soaked them in vodka...

Hi all, Dave here from PEI. Just starting out here too. I've got a BrewHouse Lager that I just bottled and a FestaBrew Cream ale in the secondary. Next up for me is the FestaBrew wheat ale. I'll start it next week. So many different beers to make, I want to try them all.:cross: mikebowman...

Congrats, my first batch gets bottled on Tuesday and then my second batch gets bottled next Saturday. Cleaned a bunch of bottles today. The end is almost near. Patience Grasshopper

Good idea on those screens. I've got some of those. you could have the bag on a piece of mono filament so you can pull it back out. Just leaving it hanging out the top held by the bung. Think that's what I will do

Did you put the zest in a bag or did you just drop them in and settle to the bottom? Also, I know that using primary and secondary is up for discussion but for now I'm raking to a carboy so by the sounds of it, I should add to carboy

So you just added it with the yeast in the primary. How much did you use?

This will be my 2nd Brew House kit beer. 1st was an American Premium Lager and I also have a Festa Brew Cream Ale on the go. Both are in early stages of life so I have not tried either yet. After spending quite some time with the search feature here I'd like to ask some questions. Please note...

Heyooh from PEI

I learned real quick about listening to the local brew shop and taking their word as god. They sold me some Sodium Metabisulphite for sanitizing equipment for beer making. Told them I wanted a no rinse solution. Luckily I got home and started researching only to find out that this stuff actually...

It's sold in Canada in brewing shops as OxySan.

I'm sure you can get in in Halifax because it is distributed by these guys in Lower Sackville http://www.winemakeri.com/default.asp

I know it's an old post but just come up with this info on Oxy San. I'm going to use this product also. Seems to be a Canada only product. http://agrocheminc.com/content/view/13/25/ edited.... I just seen this is a US company so it is available in the States.

Hi Dave, I'm in PEI and just found this place in NS. Prices look good. http://www.winemakeri.com
