This seems to be the only store in canada that has much homebrewing equipment. Wondering if anyone has purchased through them and if so, did they have good luck? The site seems a little shady and I'm thinking about making a big purchase so some reassurance would be nice :)

I brewed a pale ale last week (Dec 8th). OG 1.054. Pitched in some new Wyeast 1272 that I had grown up in a starter. Fermentation kicked off right away (24 hrs). Now, 9 days later, I took a hydro reading and its only at 1.030 and still visibly churning in the carboy. My place is kept at...

This year's label. I think its an improvement over last year's label (below) and fits in better with our overall feel our labels are starting to get (Field Hand Hefeweizen) Last year's label Thoughts?

Final version of this label is finally done. Each silhouette is a person that I work with at our farm. Big version of the updated logo depicted on the label above. I'm concerned that the smaller hops might be too small to make out in the on bottle label. and the old logo for...

So I'm using some 1007 yeast that was washed and is over a month old now so I know its probably a bit tired. But why would I have an extremely vigorous fermentation (big krauesen, lots of churning in the carboy), but really slow fermentation completion? Its been over a week for a 1.058 OG and...

Has anyone checked out this book? I'm interested in getting into some lambic making and just gain some more knowledge about wild yeasties I can use to my advantage. Its so cheap but its got some good reviews... Amazon.com: Wild Brews: Culture and Craftsmanship in the Belgian Tradition: Jeff...

So I brewed this recipe a friend made up. His was great, a nice smoky flavor that one first sip was a smack in the face but quickly became enjoyable, he did a 23L batch, and I scaled it up to 42L. The recipe is about 6.75% peated malt with the rest being made up of pale malt and munich. I...

worked out pretty good on the first test run....here are the prebatch pics stainless steel quick release to hookup my CFC without any plastic in the mix :) SCROLL DOWN FOR CURRENT FERMENTING BEVERAGE PICS :)

has anyone tried reducing the gap in the mill really low to intentionally make flour? would be cool to avoid having to buy a stone mill for making flour but would hate to damage my barley crusher.

so i'm looking to setup a pickup tube that is similar to this guys Picasa Web Albums - Kevin - Keggles for c... but i'm wondering about cleaning. can a compression fitting be taken apart and put back together? i thought it crimped the metal a bit upon first assembly and would eventually be...

I plan to change 4 of the silhouettes still so that I have 8 unique outlines. Each one represents one of my coworkers at the farm I work at. Thoughts?

Wild hop harvest My current setup....upgrading soon Field Hand Hefeweizen Field Hand Hefeweizen (Limited Blackberry Edition)

I was thinking about building one of these valves but was concerned about galvanic corrosion from the copper of the pickup tube and stainless of my keggle. Is this an issue or is teflon tape between the 2 enough to prevent this from happening?

Anyone know what this might be? It has a slight lemony/pine smell..... Click the link below for a larger version (might help for iding) http://www.deterrabrewing.com/IMG_3390.JPG Thanks!

for some reason i feel like i've read somewhere that belgian yeast doesn't deal with being saved on agar slants. is there any truth to this that anyone knows of?

i was wondering how many points of gravity you can safely let a beer drop after putting it in a keg without worrying about it getting over pressurized. i'd really like my hefe to be on tap by monday but don't want to risk over carbonation or damaging my keg. i haven't taken a reading yet but...

So recently I've noticed an off flavor in my pale ale (and potentially in my ESB) and I can't seem to put my finger on it based on all the guidelines I've read on the net for off flavors. I know this is hard to trouble shoot without actually tasting the beer but let me run down the scenario...

I brewed a 5 gal batch yesterday using batch sparging (for the 2nd time). I had 12.75 lb of grain and mashed in with 12.75 L of water. My first runnings gave me approximately 8L which is about right figuring a 0.2 grain absorption and my measured 1.5L deadspace. Following that I ran 21 L of...
