+5 english brown ale = 9,191 ... oh man... I want to be the guy who brews the batch to tip 10,000

I used puffed wheat cereal once...

Cool, thanks guys! As I said, I've been very happy with northernbrewer service in the past... however, I emailed them inquiring about other shipment methods, and they quite flatly said "Yes, UPS is exorbitantly expensive going to Canada, but it's the only carrier we use. Why don't you 'simply'...

I've used northernbrewer.com ... they were very helpful on the phone, and I find their web page the most friendly of any I've seen (morebeer, austinhomebrew.) The only thing I don't like is that they insist on using UPS, who generally totally blow for bringing things north. (Shipping to...

Well it's past my bedtime and I should be doing other things, so why not catch up on some old posts? I'm humbled to say that you guys were right... I pulled apart the assembly and found... check valves! (If only I had known what they looked like before hand). They were made out of a plastic...

Remember that even if you are drilling where there aren't any coolant lines, sometimes there are other things in the fridge wall that you don't want to hit. Sometimes those things create smoke, sizzling, and blown breakers, and are tricky to fix. But what do I know?

Final Update Against all odds, the "Ginger Puffed Wit" has become a surprise house-hit. It pains me to say that of all the carefully crafted beers I've made on purpose, I've never floated a keg as quickly as this one. My roommate and girlfriend can't stop drinking it. When I say things like...

I just made my orders from Richters (someone gave the link a few posts back.) Crannog looks good to, but... they have an online/ mail order business and don't take visa? Cheapo.

+1 for that South Side Brew Crew/Winning Wines ... they can be hit and miss for ingredients on any given day, but will try to order things in for you. There used to be a place called "harvest brewing", I think, on Argyll, which wasn't bad.

fun game... +5 cream of 3 crops +5 accidental IPA +5 pinhead wheat stout +5 puffed wit = 4042

Kegged these today and had to taste. Preliminary verdict: 'Puffed Wit' - Extremely strong aroma - ginger and toast. If you get past that, the beer is actually pretty drinkable, it's a spritzy wheat beer, slightly sweet, could be good as a summer refresher. Could actually be a worthwhile recipe...

I almost feel I should buy a dozen more of these and keep them around for next month/year/decade when friends and hbt-ers are unable to find them elsewhere.

I just picked up 4, and they seem like a great deal. They are all in better shape than my current kegs, some seemed to have pressure. This seems like a great price for these kegs. I had been looking at shipping a pallet of kegs from out east, and even the pallet price (25 kegs) came out to...

oh reallllly? I'll have to check this out... anyone know prices/quality?

Uh oh... 4 kegs isn't enough to keep everything conditioning... anyone have any leads for corny kegs out here? Keegan

BTW... both beers started good fermentation within a day, but the wit beer (with WL 3955) STILL (2 weeks later) has 4" of Kraussen on top... is that usual? I'd kind of like to move to secondary, but not with that much still going on.

Well, I guess they are still the only gig in town :o And also... the brew day was WAY more fun flying by the seat of our collective pants's and knowing that if it worked we were making brewing history. :) And maybe the 16 yr old Lagavulin helped too. Later!

Thanks for the tips! I usually shop in Edmonton when I'm up there, but I called around and I could only find one shop in Calgary that had specialty grains, so we went there... (...) (?) (I thought I would be really ticked about something like that, but actually - it was so ridiculous that all...

A couple of friends came to help me drink and brew beer yesterday. I don't have a LHBS, but a buddy coming from a different town was to pick up my grains for me, so I called to pre-order so they'd be ready for him. On the list was a belgian wit and an english nut brown. I chatted on the phone...

Looking to do a wheat beer, but I can't seem to find flaked wheat or torrified wheat around... so I headed to the grocery store. From what I understand, torrified wheat has been heated until popping ... what's the difference between that and the puffed wheat in the breakfast cereal isle? The...
