    New to Soda: seeking syrup recipe ideas.

    Hi all, I've been homebrewing beer and wine for years, but want to get into sodas. What I'd like to do is make a large batch of concentrate syrup, store it, and add a certain amount to a 5 gal keg of water and carb whenever I want. Looking to start with a ginger ale and root beer. Not...

    Seeking dry substitute for Safale US-05

    I'm out of US-05 and so are the local homebrew shops. They have other dry varieties available (no liquid options). Is there another dry yeast that is the same strain as US-05?

    5gal Pin Lock Keg with Disconnects: $30

    I have this old pin lock laying around I've never used and would love to sell. There's a leak in the lid that I haven't been able to fix. I think it can be repaired by someone handier than I. Keg with disconnects for $30. I'm in Ontario and will ship anywhere at buyers expense.

    Help! What to do with a busted pin lock keg.

    I've got an old pin lock that leaks from around the lid (a lot). I received it this way (for free). I've tried keg lube, I've swapped lids, I've used extra fat O rings, and even tried to bend the mouth of the keg to seal. Nothing works. I'd like to use it, as I don't want to buy a new-to-me one...

    What is it and how do I get rid of it?

    My hops were happy and healthy 'till a few days ago. Leaves started developing holes and drying up. I found the culprit, his picture is bellow. Who is he, where did he come from, and how do I get rid of them? The largest ones are about 2 inches long, brown/black/yellow, furry, and bright green...

    Brew day help needed: how do I measure fresh orange peel?

    Everything's ready and the strike water is heating... My LHBS didn't have dried orange peel, so I bought a few oranges on the way home. I need one ounce of sweet dry orange peel. How do I get that from a fresh orange? Is one ounce of dry equal to one ounce of fresh? Please comment!

    Looking for wood cask alternative

    Having a big party this summer and want to wow the crowd. I make a hell of a helles, if I say so myself, and would like to serve it poolside from the cask. Is there a product out there that mimics a traditional wood cask? I want to use it for lagering, carbing (with sugar) and serving. I DO NOT...

    PartiGyle Festbock/Amerian Red... Suggestions needed

    I've tried to parigyle once before and it didn't work perfectly. I'm not sure what I did wrong. Anyway, with lager season coming, I want to remake a Festbock I made last year. The recipe needs some tweaking, but the components are (in order of amount used) Munich, Vienna, Pilsner, Chocolate...

    How do I brew the old fashioned way?

    My last few brews, as well as some of my next, have peaked my interest in traditional brewing techniques. Most of the styles I prefer to brew originate from 16th/17th century Germany and France (and area). I know I can imitate the original brews with modern techniques and technology, but I'd...

    How to bottle hefe

    Two friends are getting married in Kitchener/Waterloo, Ontario during the first weekend of Oktoberfest. I've promised a couple brews. I have a Festbock lagering now and I plan to force-carb and bottle it from the keg. The mystery is the weizen. I'm about to brew a hefeweizen and I really...

    Biere De Guarde: Suggestions and comments, please.

    I've decided to try a Biere de Garde and would like to keep it as traditional as possible. My ancestors came to Quebec, Canada, from northern France in the 17th century and I'd like to imitate a brew they may have enjoyed. In the interest of keeping things authentic, I'd like to use...

    Any ideas on how to un-stick a seized Celli faucet?

    I recently purchased a 3 faucet cobra style Celli tower. It was super cheap so I didn't hesitate. Now that I've got it, I've noticed the faucets aren't working well. Two of three taps are completely seized shut, and the other moves, but not smoothly. Any idea how I can un-stick the seized ones...

    Looking for Bulk Grain in GTA

    I'm in the market for a 50 or 55lb bag of pilsen malt. I've contacted Scott Labs in Pickering and they don't carry Briess (or anything else) anymore. Grain Processes in Scarborough has a large selection but no pilsen malt (and won't order it). I found a source or two outside the GTA asking...

    Hi folks, I'm new to kegging, of course, and I'm having trouble with my regulator. I've got a very basic setup, one keg, one CO2 tank, single regulator.

    Anyone here selling beer in Ontario?

    My hobby has turned into an obsession. Now I'd like to explore options to turn my obsession into a part-time career. A few small pubs here in Sudbury have expressed interest in serving my beer! I don't want to start a serious brewery here, just a small operation to supply 2 or 3 local pubs...

    Bon vino as brew pump?

    I picked up a used Bon Vino Super Jet filter, I got a great deal! I bypassed the filter pads and use it for racking. I wonder, would it work as a brew pump? The Bon Vino people say it's food-safe, of course, but have no temp rating. What do you think? http://www.buonvino.com/P_SuperJet.shtml
