Hey fellow Canadians...checkout my Canadian Beer Style guide that outlines some of the uniquely Canadian beers that aren't recognized by the BJCP

Hey all, from Coquitlam, BC here (Originally from Victoria), I've been scouring the site but yet to post, so thought I'd jump in now. Just popped open my first home brew (IPA) and am very pleased with the result, I now have 50 bottles of Blonde Ale carbonating, and deciding what to brew next!

 

[ChrisfromAbby]

Abbotsford myself. Brewing for about 25 years, yikes!
All grain usually. Still bottling only.
Tried many styles, with a fondness for nut browns and bitters and a good Pils. Working on my first lambic....
Love Dan's and Boss Grape, but they're too far away! Really appreciating Fraser Valley Hop & Grain opening up.
Chris

Toronto, checking in! Only one brew day so far (Brooklyn Brew Shop kit), but I'm stocking up on equipment to brew more regularly.

Anyone here have much experience with induction brewing? I live in a condo and was going to do something along these lines:

Hey Chris I'm from Chilliwack myself. Ever been to Connor's Wine Cellar here in Chwk? They've got a really good selection of beer making ingredients.

 

[ChrisfromAbby]

Never tried there, good to know there are some alternatives. We need to get a brew club going here in the Valley.....

 

[HopHoarder]

Yeah that's what we're trying to do in the Chwk area

Hey fellow Canucks! Aaron here from Saskatoon, originally from Vancouver. I have 5 beers under my belt, essentially all jazzed up kit in a can type job. I've been steeping some specialty grains and adding additional hops and getting great results so far. I also use dme and corn sugar for the additional fermentables.
Does anyone know of good online stores in Canada?
Cheers!

Someone just started up a thread on that recently; check out https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f173/who-ships-canada-386185/

Ontariobeerkegs is a great site and the fella is a great guy.
Hopdawgs is very nice, honest guy too.
I think they both have reasonable shipping rates for Canada.

 

[Stoonbrew]

Currently scrounging up the necessary equipment (and working through early stages of negotiations with my wife ) to take the all grain plunge.

This! I'm in the exact same stage on negotiations...

AG BIAB over here in Edmonton. Gets mighty cold for winter brewing though.

 

[lumpy5oh]

Brand new Woodstock, Ontario brewer here. First extract batch in the fermenter.

 

[a315598]

New Brunswick. AG for a couple of years. Very satisfying. Also the beer at the government run system don't offer much in terms of selection.
The cost savings on a pint of beer; let's not go there.

I live in NB myself, I see they are crying about how NBL has been losing revenue. Wonder why? LOL

Same deal here in NS my friend

Hi everyone, Edmonton AB here. I haven't been brewing that long. First batch was an extract and the 10 or so batches after that have all been partial mash for me.

If anyone wants to meet up, I'll be at the next Edmonton Homebrewer's Guild meeting at 7:00pm on Monday March 4th at Alley Kat Brewery. I'll probably bring samples to get some feedback

No I called them last year and they said they wouldn't sell me malt because I was a home brewer, and that I needed to buy the bags of malt from my local brew shop. Since then I have ordered sacks of Gambrinus from HopDawgs.ca

Did you just show up there and buy some, maybe that's my problem I called first?
