It's good to see posts from homebrewers friends I personally met in Curitiba. Thanks João Paulo for the link to http://www.acervapr.com.br/. By the way, the contact for this website is Alessandro Oliveira. Is it the same Alessandro who organized the seminar about the Belgian tripple on...

Thank you david_42 and philbrasil for taking some of your valuable time to reply. Philbrasil, welcome ( bem vindo ) on the homebrewtalk forum ( I see it's your first post ). As far as I know, the Curitiba homebrewers group doesn't have its own website. One member had a blog 5 months ago...

Thank you Yuri_Rage and boo boo to take some of your valuable time to reply and supply additional ( and very interesting ) information. The starter-non starter thread supply even more information. OK, so now I'm firmly convinced that not only making a stirplate yeast starter with dry yeast...

Very interesting thread here, specially the fermenting temperature range suggested by Wyeast ( 70-95F, 21-35C ) I'm a Belgian ( living in Canada for more than 20 years ) and in Belgium any temperature above 30C is considered a heatwave. Belgian has a damp and cold climate. What's even more...

Thank you JonK331, Walker, and Revvy for taking some of your valuable time to reply. I've been brewing for about 15 years and as you mentioned dry yeast is quite foolproof and has a short lag time. Sometime I used the "yeast cream " technique ( as suggested by most dry yeast manufacturers )...

cscade, thanks for taking some of your valuable time to reply and to detail your yeast starter procedure. tincob, I think you'll be doing fine the way you plans to do on sunday. That's just my opinion here , I think a starter is at its peak after 48 hours, but pitching it after 72 hours...

tincob, you mentioned a stirplate. That's good because I recently purchased one and used it to make a 1.5 litre starter using Wyeast 2633 oktoberfest lager blend. I was very impressed by the reduced lag time . You are brewing an ale , so I don't see any reason to refrigerate the starter. I...

2 years ago, while taking a raifanning trip with my Brazilian wife to the friendly and safe Brazilian city of Curitiba I had the good luck to meet a Brazilian homebrewer. At that time my friend Samuel was planning to open a microbrewery. 2 years later I was invited ( with another Brazilian...

I know, it looks like a waste of time here. I purchased a " stirstarter" for my latest batch ( inoculated with a 1.5 litre wyeast starter ) and was so impressed by the short lag time that I thought I could apply the same technique with dry yeast. I know that theoretically, 1 or 2 packaging...

jjacobs, You seems to be in a hurry ( I understand :) ). I agree with Blender, use 1 gram of DME to every 10 ml of starter wort, or 100 gr DME for every litre of starter. I apology if I'm talking metric here but being Belgian born I'm completely United States customary units impaired...

Thank you Catt22 and wilserbrewer for taking some of your valuable time to reply. To Catt22: I purchased the Heavy Duty Brew Kettle - With Ball Valve (32 Quart/8 Gallon) from MoreBeer. I'm brewing 5 gallons batches so an 8 Gallons kettle gives me some room. It is made out of stainless...

I'm a newbie on this forum but has been homebrewing for more than ... 15 years , you know the good old days when no one ever heard about a yeast starter :) Now that I just retired I can use my retirement bonus to replace my good old 15 years old homebrewing equipment. I mash in the oven...

Thank's WenValley, mgo737, Chester for taking some of your valuable time to reply and to supply additional information. mgo737: yes the williamsbrewing oxygenator looks great. I like the way the airstone is mounted on a piece of stainless steel tube. Unfortunately they don't ship to Canada...

Thank you Yuri_Rage for the link to midwestsupplies.com. I'm waiting for some reply to my e-mail asking if they have the oxygenator in stock. And I already ordered it from mountainhomebrew ( but I still don't know if they have it in stock ). passedpawn, thanks for posting additional...

Thanks a lot for trying to help pdbreen. Unfortunately on the shipping info webpage it says: Northern Brewer does not ship internationally. Jacques

From a newbie to another , Welcome jonnyj. How long have you been homebrewing ? I have registered about 3 hours ago and i'm already very impressed by the fast and helpful replies to my inquiry from some other members. Jacques

Thank you inspector13 and passedpawn for taking some of your valuable time for that prompt reply. passedpawn: Do you connect the aquarium tubing directly to the oxygen tank ? Isn't the regulator required to lower the high pressure of the oxygen getting out of the tank ? inspector13...

Thank you weirdboy for taking some of your valuable time to reply ( and to reply fast :) ) I'm looking for aerating the wort with pure oxygen but if I don't find any supplier I'll go the aquarium pump way. It looks like what is in short supply is the oxygen regulator and not the oxygen stone...

Hello, I'm new here ( but I've been homebrewing for at least 15 years. I realised that my main problem is diacetyl, so I decided to purchase a wort oxygenator online ( oxynater etc.. ). I checked at least 5 suppliers in the U.S. and they all out of mention that the item is out of stock...

Hello, My name is Jacques, I'm a Belgian living in Montreal Canada. I've been homebrewing for ... I don't remember exactly ,it must be about 20 years. I'm just checking my homebrewing papers and I have in front of me the 1st certificate I was awarded in a homebrew contest. It is dated 1994...
