From the Toronto brewery. http://www.greatlakesbeer.com/index.php/our-beers/brands/ Does anyone have any idea how I could get started on an all grain clone recipe?

After some Googling, I've found two methods of darkening homemade Belgian candi syrup/sugar. Let's keep the additives aside (citric acid, DAP, etc.) and not get into the debate over cane vs. beet or whether this truly is Belgian candi sugar/syrup. 1. One method involves holding the...

Has anyone given cooling snakes a try to control fermentation temperature or to lager? They would have to be hooked up to either a water pump or glycol system. http://morewinemaking.com/products/cooling-snake-25-meters.html I've seen some homemade versions of this concept using stainless...

Is it possible to use the stainless barrels from bubbasbarrels.com or usedstainlessbarrels.com to force carbonate? What kind of pressure do they hold?

Can anyone tell me where they've found bitter orange peel in Ontario? I'm going to try an asian supermarket later today.

Does anyone know where I can buy bulk flaked or instant rice in Canada? (55lbs/25kg) My regular malt supplier wants $40 for a bag. Their malt is reasonably priced at around $28.

I am planning on housing 3-4 STC-1000 "Ebay" Temp Controllers in a control box. Because this box would be in a central location, I'd have to extend the probe wires by soldering connections. Are there any problems that I might encounter doing this? Will this throw off the readout? How...

I purchased an RTD sensor with cable from Auber and they have colour-coded the cables red and blue. Two of the cables are red. Are the red cables that go into 3 and 4 in the PID interchangeable? I assume so since they made them the same colour.

Running autotune on my Auber PID today. Set the temp on automatic to 154F. At 144F, I initiated autotune (setting to 2). The kettle continued to rise to 212F. Is this normal?

I cannot for the life of me find a cheap reusable 0.5 micron 10" filter to fit my whole-house filtration system that I'm setting up to run between two kegs. I want to use this to filter my beer. Based on my research, it seems that a pleated filter is the most reusable, preferably one made...

Has anyone ever spliced two CO2 tanks (with separate regulators) into one manifold or keg? This would effectively be accomplished by putting a tee before the keg or manifold and having both CO2 tanks flow into it at the same pressure. The reason why I would want to do this is to make sure...

I am looking to use the filters for beer, though this would apply to water as well. What type of cannister water filter is reusable? From my research, it looks like this is limited to the "pleated" type. Is there a specific material or does it not matter so long as you properly backflush and...

I accidentally drilled two holes for receptacles too close to one another on the bottom of my control panel and need plug them. Ideally, I'd like to drill again over the same spot. Does anyone have any advice on how to plug these holes without having to weld?

Was cleaning out my new HLT today and realized that because my valve is over an inch above the bottom, quite a bit of water gets left behind. Was about to buy a dip tube when I thought to myself, why not just attach some silicone tubing to a barb and place the end in the centre of my HLT...

After drilling holes into the bottom of my control panel, I've come to realize that the holes for the pumps are too close together and the outer part of the receptacles will overlap. I plan on JB cold-welding some metal over the holes. Is there any reason why I can't put the pump...

I realize that a Diversol solution loses its effectiveness after some time because the chlorine evaporates, but what if it is stored in sealed bottle such as a spray bottle? Does the pink colour of the stored Diversol provide any indication of its effectiveness? I notice that it loses its...

Can anyone who filters beer recommend a source for 10" water/beer filters? I'd like to pick up both 1 micron and 0.5 micron and give them a try. Have people found better value with reusable filters or disposable filters? How effective are "nominal" filters? These are to go in my...

For the other Canadians who also spent two hours searching the McMaster-Carr website for equipment and parts, placed an order and paid, please share with us how you felt after getting this email the next day: ----- Due to the complexity of U.S. export regulations, McMaster-Carr accepts...

I am setting up my system in the laundry room and the only source of water is the washing machine source. I bought a garden hose splitter today and a barb that I'm going to attach to some silicone hose. I know that this is not ideal, but what other options do I have?

What diameter hose comes with the Blichmann Beer Gun accessory kit for the gas line? Is it exactly the same tubing as the 3/16" beer line, though only 5' long?
