    Fresh Squeezed IPA (Deschutes Inspired)

    Calgary, Alberta. Though as far as I know this is the only province in Canada that gets Deschutes. So I get great variety and pay through the nose for the privilege.

    Fresh Squeezed IPA (Deschutes Inspired)

    I just brewed this up yesterday. Used beersmith to scale down to something in the 5%ish range. My mash temp was off a degree or two and OG was maybe 2 points low. Not anything I'm worried about. Here's hoping it tastes as good as the commercial version because I'm not too keen on spending...

    BRBC Garage Brewery

    Very cool. Well good luck to you! I'll definitely give you a try if one day you decide to go commercial.

    Could it be that you're close to Calgary?

    Home roasted M.O. pointers please?

    Rickards Red Clone?

    If you can't get munich try to get vienna. They're fairly similar. But don't brew this with 2 pounds of crystal 60. That's way too much. It will definately not allow the beer to attenuate enough. I can't recommend you use that much crystal at all.

    First Pale Ale

    Looks good to me, though I must admit (I'm on a bit of a cascade bender) I'd make 2 1oz additions. :)

    Planning my Winter Warmer, feedback?

    Good call bike n brew. For some reason I guess I forgot that the honey was going to dry out the beer.

    Planning my Winter Warmer, feedback?

    It's kind of hard to tell you if 3#s of honey is too much without seeing the rest of the grainbill. If you think that cal ale yeast is too neutral you might try the dry english yeast or maybe even scottish ale. I also hear that German ale is a good attenuator. But I've heard good and bad about...

    First Pale Ale

    People usually recommend wheat to aid in head retention. Whether or not it actually works is a whole other matter. Either way it won't hurt. However I would change one thing in your recipe. Move the cascade addition to the end of the boil. Either a 5 minute addition or split between 10 and 0...

    LHBS Kingston Ontario

    I don't think Todd sells equipment, just ingredients. He does have a bit more in stock than his website shows though. Just send him an email and ask him if he has what you need. He's usually pretty quick to answer. I guarantee you won't be disappointed with his service.

    LHBS Kingston Ontario

    I ordered a tonne of stuff through Todd. He's got a great selection and is really willing to order other stuff for you if he doesn't have it on hand. Yes Defalco's is very bad for ingredients but they have pretty decent brewing equipment. That's where I'd get carboys and stuff like that. But...

    LHBS Kingston Ontario

    Though this guy isn't in Kingston he's in Ottawa. If you buy in bulk I'm sure you could justify the roadtrip (come to Ottawa and see some real hockey! :P) www.skinaneybrewing.com is his website. He'll also ship to you. He's a class act to deal with and I highly recommend him.

    beer engine with cornies

    So the beer was carbonated obviously. Was there any problem with sediment going into the gas-in tube? I would love to try this method.

    Unibroue Trois pistoles

    JimC, try the lcbo on king edward and rideau. They have it. The Beerstore carries it too. Which lcbo are you going to that you can't find it?

    Hi from Ottawa!

    Thanks, Axe I've been to bodensatz before. It's a handy site. And bradsul, I experienced the same thing. Crystal malt sold in 250g baggies. What lovibond it is I have no idea (and neither do the store guys). Like I said earlier, luckily there's a guy operating out of his house (read, dirt cheap...

    Unibroue Trois pistoles

    I haven't had any problems finding it in the Ottawa area. I've also seen it in Montreal and Quebec City. That said it's not as easy to find as say Bud but it's there. Try the LCBO if you're in Ontario. And in Quebec most corner stores (depanneurs) will stock them. I really like the blanche de...

    Hi from Ottawa!

    Hi everyone. Like the title says I'm from Ottawa, Canada. I stumbled onto this forum this morning and since I started working a desk job I think I've read every thread of every homebrew forum except for this one. So needless to say a breath of fresh air was very relieving. If there's anyone else...
