Austin Homebrew sells a kit for Yukon Red

You might be hard pressed to find someone else who has even had the beer. Its is a very nice beer with well balanced malt and hop flavours. Sorry I cant help you but I do agree on the beer.

Well I solved this by myself, I went with an 8g kettle. Bigger is better right?

Looking at getting my brew kettle and will be using it on the stove. I am looking at doing 2.5-3g batches. Maybe bigger at a later date. What would be the ideal size of kettle for 3g full boil? If I wanted to do 5g full boils what size of kettle would I need? Would a regular electric...

I got some DFH pumpkin ale in BC about a week ago but had not seen it before that or since. Sierra Nevada is only at 2 stores in BC and only the Pale Ale.

Well I havent even got my first brew going yet but I have been thinking about a name. I live in super natural BC as our tourism ads call it, so I thought I would go with Supernatural Brewing Company or Supernatural BC for short. I could then name beers after supernatural beings and what not...

It was at the Fleetwood store. Think there was two 4 packs left when I left.

Not so common on the west coast of Canada though.

I was at the liquor store buying some beer for a party and what do I see but a case of DFH pumpkin sitting on the ground. Only one case with a small sign saying $5 off 8.99 for 4. Never seen this here so i bought some. When I got home I checked the online inventory for BC Liquor stores and they...

Just had a few more and it seems without the other beers before hand it tastes better. Still get the smokey/woody after tastes but much more palatable.

Trying to expand my knowledge of beer I picked up several import/craft beers. I drank a 6 pack of Yukon Red amber with a friend. It was fairly hop forward but as the beer warmed a little the malt came out and balanced out very well. I then moved on to Leffe Blonde and it tasted great to...

Do you get anything from the Yukon Brewing Company? Their Yukon Red Amber is supposed to be pretty good if you like that style of beer.

Not heard of anything coming up but I am just getting started. They held a Vancouver homebrew competition this year http://www.vanbrewerawards.com/ not sure if its happening again though. I know they held the canadian brewery awards in september but I think thats just for the pros. Canadian beer...

Thanks all. Might have to go with a rubbermaid container of some sort in my spare shower incase of accidental explosion of wort.
