Will the RANCO ETC-111000 work well for controlling the temperatures of a freezer that I plan on using for a fermentation chamber(at ale temps)? Wup

Well. this is how the story goes last spring got fed up with paying $40/case for beer, and went to a Brew On Premise which are common up here in Ontario. Gave them $90 and they said come back in 2 weeks. Go back 2 weeks later with six cases of empties and fill them up. Take it home, tastes like...

Just brewed this, cut the last hop addition down to 1/4 ounce as that was all I had, also screwed up and only held at 154 F for 40 minutes, still hit my target gravity w/ 70% efficiency. Will post results in a couple weeks. Wup

Rickards Red and Rickard's Honey Brown are 2 different beers there is no such thing as Rickards Honey Red. Also that recipe was mine, and I ended up with 5.5 gallons, I just made it Thursday so I really can't comment on how its going to end up.

I did my first AG on Tuesday, thought I would share a few tips: 1) Definitely have some sort of extract on hand, I milled my own grain(corona style and ended up with a <50% efficiency 2)Get a heavy spoon to mix the mash, i had a cheap plastic one, it broke, then I burned my hand(well not...

Well, the LHBS didn't have Munich, they recommended Victory instead and me being a newb took it. Reading the description for it on the net and tasting a bit, it is clear that it is a bit to "nutty" for this style. So should I just forget about the munich? What would bumping the crystal to 1 lb...

Well, after lasts years dismall experience with extract brewing, I am back with all grain equipment in hopes or reviving my faith in homebrew. For my first brew I am looking to make something along the lines of a Rickard's Red Clone, I have talked to a person who use to brew and he came up with...

Anyone know where to get a burner and stand big enough for a keg in Canada? I have been looking and the biggest i can find is a 14" square at WalMart while the Keg has about 15.75" diameter. Thanks Wup

So...Tomorrow I'm going to pick up a cooler, is the 10 Gallon Rubbermaid, the suggested one to go with? Thanks Wup ..::Edit: I just noticed Sams Club has a 5 Gallon Rubbermaid for $18.xx, how much will it truely limit me in doing 5 gallon batches?::..

I only plan on doing 5 gallons at at time right now, so do you think a 5 Gallon Rubbermaid Bev Cooler would be better?

I'm going to make the leap to all-grain, looking for coolers I came across http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5623412 It's a 5-dy cooler so it should hold temps pretty well, and the price can't be beat. So what do you think? Wup ..::Edit: I plan on batch sparging::..

Well, the other day I was sanitizing some bottles on my counter. Later that night, there was a bunch of white patches in that area, this is a laminate countertop. Does anyone have an idea for what I can do to try to fix this? Thanks Wup

UnHopped=No Hops= 0 IBU's Hoped extracts are usually "ready to go" kits, where you just add water (sometimes sugars), and you have beer, so the IBU's depends on the kit

Well, I have a batch of "champagne" in a keg, carbonated to about 30 psi. I have 15 feet of 3/16 gas line, and the stuff is still flying out of the tap as a glass of foam. Any thoughts on what I should do, do different balancing rules apply at higher pressures? Thanks Wup

You can have them for much cheaper if you don't mind a little cleaning, and orings are cheap to replace.

If you are doing extract, then yes a concentrated boil with a top up will do. Wup

Yes most are SS, also since when are keg deposits cheap in ontario, the beer store is something loke a $50, or do you plan on hoping over to the US for a keg?

Well I am looking to order some hops from hopsdirect (since the cheapest I have found around me is $4/50 grams for most varieties). But I dont really need a pound of each. I was wondering if anyone around Hamilton would like to go in on an order. Right now I am looking at getting, a pound of...
