I have made a lot of great beer with dry yeast.

When I bought mine at my LHBS I took the first one I saw. The guy that was selling it to me looked at it and said it was cracked, so I went and got another and checked it myself. It too was cracked. I checked 12 carboys, only to find them all cracked. I did get one that was OK and I doubt he...

You'll have more worries than oxidation of your beer if you break those carboys. They can be dangerous if they are glass.

That's what I thought of it myself. ;)

Not sure, I thought you were "tooting " your own horn.

Other than time restraints, nothing but your honesty. Would be a hollow victory to win, wouldn't it?

Mine is being judged this weekend in Regina. Congrats on the great scores guys.

Congrats. I thought about it myself, but considered it a waste of time when I probably would be the only one in the Province and with no competitions to attend, wouldn't be able to complete the process to become a full fledged judge.

Our Canadian twist off bottles are thicker glass than one time use twist off bottles commonly used in the states. Most of our bottles ( at least my local ones ) are meant to be reused by the breweries. I have used twist off bottles along with normal caps for more than 25 years without worry. It...

I love the W34/70 also and buy it by the brick.

Well welcome to HBT. I used to post on the Green board quite a number of years ago, but got my fix from this site. The Brew Board struggled quite a while before it died.

Is the gushing from over carbonation from too much priming in one bottle or from an infection for sure?

By brother-in-laws ex girlfriend had one, and we used to take it swimming with us in a pond near home. Dog used to swim and would never come close to land. He loved to swim and even dive under water to try to grab trout swimming around us. Only problem with us taking him swimming was getting him...

Hey, welcome to another Canadian. Give this free on-line book a read http://www.howtobrew.com/ it will help you in so many ways as it did to most of us. There are a couple of Canadian sites you may also want to have a look at also. http://www.canadianhomebrewers.com/index.php...

For sure. To the OP next brew, before you do anything, throw away any instructions on the kit, and ask for the proper way to conduct your fermentation if you can't find it by a search of this site.
