Did you use a starter? If not I'm sure you under pitched, and your beer will taste like hobo testicles. Next time use mr. malty or your beer will crawl out of your carboy and slap you around. - did I capture the right spirit of the experiment? - I have to admit that since I picked up the...

Congrats! The sweet taste of success! Now to build up the o'l pipeline; Don't want it to run out!

Meh, just seems lazy. Defeats the whole point of becoming a brewmaster.

My robust porter, with my newly installed kegerator in the background.

Welcome to the addiction! If you are looking at going AG at some point in the future you should start checking out Brew In A Bag (BIAB). It seems like a straight forward way to get into it with minimal equipment, and a lot of folks on here swear by it.

I recently bought my first big sack. $38 for 55# of Canadian 2 row. Great local place. I'm already down 10#.

As much as I can drink or give away! No limits up here in the great white north! I just can't engage in anything commercial.

I race cars, play tennis, and fondle women, BUT! I have weekends off, and I am my own boss.

Take a look at what's available at your LHBS, choose a kit that tickles your fancy. Grab a better pack of yeast while you're there; The yeast inside the kits are a little questionable. It'll all turn out great though, welcome to the addiction!

I got a temperature adjusting refractometer. Very excited for my next brew day!

Are, not ate. Too much porter.

I've gotten my Canadian pale from Bedford brewing in Esquimalt. $38 a bag. It depends on where you are in good old Supernatural BC. If you dont have a good local shop, Hopdawgs is probably your best bet as they ate one of the few Canadian online retailers. Beats the heck out of paying an arm and...

Well, if that wort I just put in the carboy is anything to go by, this is going to be nice! Just threw this together at the last minute, but had to sub Zeus for warrior. Everything went ok, though I had a hell of a time maintaining my mash temp. Had to add a quart at 30m to bring it up (somehow...

I've done a bit of autocross racing, and dream of doing some proper road racing. I've even managed to go messing around Firebird in a Corvette, which was wicked fun. Now I've got one little one at home, with another on the way, which means I barely have time for brewing, let alone other hobbies.

Yep, poor us. (shhh, dont tell them what it's really like or they'll all come up here)

I wouldn't worry too much. Take a look at Canada customs website before you ship next time and see what that say about the commercial issue. There'll be some definition, and I bet it has more to do with use than volume. The site should list all their policies and regs. Frankly it would not be...

I've only had the 2011 version, and it's exactly what I want in a Christmas ale. Stupid Canadian customs will only let me bring so much back.

I'm enjoying one right now, and I heartily agree. The colour really jumps out at me as well as the flavour. Does anyone have a clone? I can't normally get it back home in BC.

Welcome to the forum fellow Canuck! I don't know much about kegs (I still bottle) but a lot of folks here do. You came to the right place!
