Im looking to buy a few bottles of beer for the weekend. I'm hoping that since Quebec beer sales are not restricted to provincial contolled stores and beer can be sold through private convience and grocery stores, I will be able to find stuff that the LCBO locations in the GTA don't carry. For...

Hey guys. This one is for the Canadian's here. I'm driving from Toronto to Ottawa this weekend and was thinking about spending an afternoon in Hull. Can anyone reccomend good places in hull to buy beer? I've got lcbo in Ottawa but I'm hoping to find some new stuff in hull I can't find around...

thanks guys! looks like I will end up with more beer than I can drink. sweet

Thanks. I'm not 100% sure yet but I believe I will based in Nashua and driving to the kittery area on two days for some fishing. I don't think I will have time to hit any of the breweries unless one happens to be on my way, so stuff easier to find would be best, but hopefully I can stop at one...

Ok guys another going on a trip question. I'm going to the new Hampshire/ Maine area in early September and am looking for beers to try while I'm there. Local beers are good, but anything I can find there that I can't find in Canada I will try, such as sierra Nevada and Russian river etc...

Sorry to highjack, but didn't want to start a new thread. Looking to get a clone book, and I've found two. Brew your own's Brew Your Own: The How-To Homebrew Beer Magazine - 150 Classic Clone Recipes and this one from amazon Clone Brews: Homebrew Recipes for 150 Commercial Beers: Amazon.ca...

Ok, quick question. I'm thinking about making a batch of this. How long did you let it sit in primary before racking to secondary?

I've got a strawberry mead going right now as well. I don't have the recipe on me right now, but what i did was make the must and added to strawberries, then when they went white and nasty raked onto more strawberries and added a little more honey and water

personally I would skip the orange and maybe the raisins as well. Two Oranges in a one gal batch will probably give you a pretty strong orange taste. How long does the honey suckle survive in your area? What I would do is make a batch with just the nutrients, honey and honeysuckle. Use this...

the recipe on here states around 1.030, which is where mine is after close to 4 months I think. Mine is sweet, and needs some time ageing but is drinkable

Thanks guys. Yea, the honey might be a bit much, as it was originally supposed to be a batch of prickly pear mead from papazians book, and that is whats called for. Ok, switch to Lalvin EC-1118, and go with staggered nutirent addition from hightest FAQ. Maybe reduce the amount of honey to...

yes, barnyard does describe buckwheat. My father makes amazing home made sausage with honey in them, and tried buckwheat once instead of normal honey. The smelled so strongly of manure or barnyard that we couldn't eat them and had to toss them out. I'm not to well versed in using it for mead...

How does this sound for 1 gallon of strawberry melomel? : 2 kilos honey 2lb strawberry in primary 2lb strawberry in secondary. Lalvin D-47 Mix warm water and honey to 1 gal, pour must over 2lb of strawberry. After 24 hours: add ¼ tsp yeast energizer and ½ tsp yeast nutrient and stir...

Ok guys, thanks for all the advice! I've decided to do a strawberry mead for now, but I'm gonna work on the recipe for this and try it once my JAOM is ready to bottle in a couple weeks. I'll post an update with a recipe when I've got one. thanks again

thanks,I appreciate the offer. I need about 1.5lb of pear, whole would work fine. I'm not sure if shipping cross border would be worth it, especially the hassle of shipping food. I saw them two or three weeks ago, and haven't since. I'm gonna look again in a another week or two, but if I can't...
