I just wanted to let all my fellow Canadian Homebrewers know about a hop plant supplier in Canada that I found after much time spent searching for a Sorachi Ace Rhizome in Canada. Initially I had found and ordered a Sorachi Ace (along with 3 other Rhizomes) from homebrewsupplies.ca (Randy...

I currently have a grapefruit wheat ale in secondary, which I added about 5 cups of fresh grapefruit juice to when I transferred to secondary. It doesn't quite have the grapefruit nose that I was hoping for, and I noticed that Lorann makes a grapefruit 'natural' flavoring oil, however it is...

I have been searching around for an answer for the last few days, but have been unable to determine the cause of my problem. I am currently making (4) 5gallon batches of mead, all with different fruits except one. The first contained 23# of honey, water to make 5 gallons and 18# of...

Hi all, I am in the process of building a new all electric brew rig, which is almost complete! :mug: I originally was going to use a cooler as a mlt, but after playing with it, have decided with my setup (RIMS) it is going to be too much of a PITA vs a converted keg. I posted a want ad on...

I am currently in the planning/purchasing stage of my new brew rig build. I am thinking about doing a rims mash system, and was wondering if anyone else out there is using a FLOW sensor to detect flow rates on the pump, and protect wort from scorching and element dry firing.

I am currently in the planning stages of my new brew rig build, and I am contemplating a rims type system. I was wondering if anyone else out there has used a flow meter/sensor to protect their heating element from scorching wort/self destructing, and what you used. I am thinking about using...

I have been kit brewing for about 4 years now, and I have decided to make the jump to all grain. I have been lurking around here for about a year reading up on all grain brewing, and have just recently decided to start looking into equipment. I have decided to go with a cooler based mash tun...

Hi all, I am currently brewing from kits and have been wanting to jump into all-grain for a while now and have decided on a HERMS system which I plan to automate. I work for a hot-tub company and have the opportunity to get a brand new heater for free (no I am not stealing it). It is a 6kW...

Hi, after moving a keg and c02 tank and regulator for a party I somewhere lost the plastic regulator seal, and quite stupidly hooked up the tank and turned the valve on anyways. My question is now that my tank is empty is there any way I can jurryrig an o-ring to seal it temporarily? And...

When I purchased my Kegging Setup it came with a nylon regulator seal, and last week I seemed to have lost it, and my C02 tank is now empty:( My question is, is there a difference between using a fibre seal and a nylon?

I have been offered 3 50L kegs to start my all-grain brewing rig, and I am wondering what they are worth? The guy is asking $225CDN for all three.

Hi, I have been brewing brewhouse kits for about a year now, and I want to start all grain brewing. I have been doing some research and I want to build a HERMS system, which I want to automate. I will probably only be brewing 5 gallon batches. My question is, what are 50L kegs worth? A...

So after talking about it several times with my LHBS, I decided to take the plunge and try it out for myself. So far I have been just making the Brew House kits (next batch is gonna be all-grain, I hope), and I have been told that the fermentation of the wort using wyeast is far more vigorous...

I am new to kegging, and I have a huge foam problem.... I bought a starter kit from homebrew-supplies.ca, it came with a dual tap tower, two kegs, co2 tank, regulators, and the rest of the bits and pieces... I have on one tap a lager that I made from a brewhouse kit, and on the other a root...

I just picked up 4 Kegs from my local princess auto, a steal at 24.99 each... They seem to be in pretty good shape overall, But all seem to be leaking from the lid... So other than replacing the lid o-ring, the two dip tube o-rings and the two o-rings on the post, and the obvious cleaning and...
