I think that no-boil, pre-hopped wort kits have taken over Canada. AG brewers might be the last ones to hold out. Relatively speaking, malt extract has become pretty expensive up here, and the no-boil kits are really easy to make and high quality, so I am not surprised.Rudeboy said:Ya I eventually got that. Still cheap comparatively. What is it with Canada and DME?
I suspect the only places you can get malt extract reasonably fresh and cheap are the provinces that have brew-on-premises establishments, like BC or Ontario. Brad, did you say you get your supplies from a BOP establishment? If so, they probably move a lot of DME.
I haven't seen any Big Rock clones. Sorry. But if you EVER come across a Magpie recipe, I would love to have it. That used to my favourite Big Rock beer. I really wish they hadn't stopped brewing it.On a side note I was wanting to start an other thread, but now I have all the Canadians listening....
Does anyone have clone recipes for Big Rock beers? What I really want is their Magpie Rye Ale which for some reason they seem to have stopped brewing. But I'd also like their Traditional Ale (which Micheal Jackson once rated as one of the 13 best beers in the world). As I was typing this I also thought their Grasshopper Wheat Ale would be good for next summer....
