The timeline seems a little tight. I'm not entirely sure if it will ferment dry in 1-2 months, seems pretty quick. I am currently testing something I heard from a commercial meadry, about aerating and providing more nutrients at 24,48,72 hr marks. It certainly seems like my fermentation is...

"Ruin the mead" is exactly what I didn't want to hear but thought was the case... Oh well, best just dump it out and move on! Thanks everyone for the info!

Hi all, I made a pumpkin pie mead back at the start of October, I've racked it once and went to rack it today again but there was this weird white scum, like a skin, sitting on top. Any ideas to what it is? Should I be worried?? Cheers.

The water hasn't hurt me yet! Is there a good brew shop in port Elgin? Right now I go to Hanover and the shop is really small and not overly good....

I would taste it first. I added 2 more stocks to my batch for 1 week and then removed them, tasted prefect to me. Just remember that the flavours will dull/mellow with some age.

It really warms the heart to see so many Canadian brewers! Anyone from the Walkerton area in Ontario? I feel like there has to be someone! I'm just not finding any.... But, brew on my fellow Canadians, brew on!

There is a newer brewery that just opened up by where I live, it's called MacLean's Ale. I understand it is available at most lcbo's, but is certainly a craft brew worth hunting down. I enjoy their farmhouse blonde but have yet to try their pale ale. As well in my area is the Neustadt brewery...

I'm a pretty big fan of obk, everything I've ordered from there has been fantastic. I've never tried Toronto Brewing, but I will look into it. Thanks! What's next down your pipeline? At the request of my wife I'm making a 4 berry wine that we are hoping to make into wine coolers (fingers crossed!)

It's not often I see another onatrian on here! I'm fairly new myself, starting with mead/wine but I have also done beer (thanks to mr.beer!). I'm originally from Kitchener, but now I'm just south of Walkerton (ie. middle of nowhere). As a fellow Canadian, do you find it hard to get supplies...

I made a maple mead a while back, really good stuff. I used 1kg of honey and 1 1/2 cups of maple syrup (amber, a bit dark with loads of flavour), and 1 tsp of maple sugar. It ended up being not too sweet but a great maple flavour.

I have heard of Northern Brewers, will definitely be giving them a try. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to home brewing (starting in February) but have several batches made. I have been getting yeast and other supplies from a local wine making store, however his selections are very minimal to say the least. I live in a pretty rural area so I'm turning to online shops...
