Just ordered this yeast and I've never done a beer with brett. Any recommendations on techniques? Ferment with something neutral first and finish with the brett? Just use the Brett? And if so should I make a starter? Also is there a recipe you'd recommend trying with it? Sent from my iPad...

The competition referred to was early April so the op likely got his results 6 weeks after, not 6 months. It's also the biggest homebrew contest in Canada.

I haven't made the jump yet but from looking around I think ontario beer kegs is your best bet. I've ordered ingredients there with great service and know fellow club members who have been happy with keg orders. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Advice is basically correct. You could leave a bit longer just in the bucket with no adverse effects, and I probably would give it 3 to be sure, but it will probably be done fermenting after that first week and the remaining time is to give the yeast time to clean up and the yeast to floc out...

I've had similar issues with overcarbing, especially at beer club. I've decided it may be a couple issues. 1. I use a priming calculator but I think sometimes I slightly overestimate the amount of beer I'll get in my bottle bucket due to true loss. 2. Sometimes I don't give my beer enough...

Planning to brew my first lager. Made an appropriately sized starter as per mr malty last week and crashed it in the fridge once done fermenting on Friday. Due to some life circumstances (car accident I'm fine but my back is really sore) I'd rather wait a few days until I'm feeling better to...

- Not sure what yeast you're using, but probably need to lower temperature. Search swamp cooler for a cheap easy method. - Make a big enough yeast starter, use an online calculator. - I would skip the secondary and just bottle age after the month long primary. More things to go wrong and...

No responses, and the brew day got pushed forward to last night so I just went ahead and did it. Checked this morning, and its bubbling like crazy with a 3 inch krausen ring seven hours after pitching. So looks like it worked, I'll post back in about a month with any taste observations.

Sorry to piggyback on an old thread, but has anyone else done what pcollins did and can they report their results. No offense pcollins, just want to be really sure before I go ahead. I used gelatin for the first time in my primary. I was planning on repitching on the yeast cake for the...

I'd start by getting in touch with your local home brew club www.ehg.ca. If a good place for local ingredients exists they'll know. If there isn't a good local place then homebrewsupplies, hopdawgs, and ontariobeerkegs are all good online options. Shipping in Canada can get Quite expensive so...

I ordered some ingredients (hops, specialty grains) for OBK a couple months ago. Everything came quick, was well packaged, no complaints. I will order ingredients from them again, and eventually get my kegging equipment there.

Started about 48 hours in

Is it normally long for fermentation to start? I pitched the yeast in my starter about 36 hours ago and still don't see any signs. Thanks for your help.

I too am doing my first lager, a California common With California lager yeast. How long do I need to wait until pitching the yeast? I'm making a 1 L starter for a 4 gallons batch.

Couple of ideas, I overcarbed my first few beers as well. Are you sure you finished my five gallons of beer? Boil off, true loss ... Might have been closer to 4.5. Also I found the 5 ounces for 5gallons to be a bit much. You can find online priming calculators and in my experience depending...

Actually if you look at their shipping page it clearly states "We do not ship outside of the United States at this time.È

Northern Brewer doesn't ship to Canada. Canadian online retailers you might want to look at might be hopdawgs :http://hopdawgs.ca/Equipment/Brewing-kettles?product_id=370 or Ontario Beer Kegs http://www.ontariobeerkegs.com/Nine_Gallon_Two_Weld_Brew_Pot_p/9gallon-2weld.htm but keep in mind...

Look at the top of this forum for the BIAB sticky thread. Great instructions, pictures, everything you need to know.

You can easily do it for under $100, assuming your stove can get the job done. My jump to AG BIAB was a $75 35 quart aluminum pot from Canadian Tire (I see you're from Quebec), and a $8 bag from my LHBS store. Its possible you could even find a cheaper pot, I've definitely seen some our...
