Canadian Roll Call!!

[baulz]

Live in Peterborough On, work at a craft brewery. took an interest in fermentation right after i started working there. I have made 3 completed apple ciders, a grape juice wine, ans a peach wine. also created some sinfully high ABV concoction i call Prison Wine (its just fermented sugar water). I have used the Mr. Beer to make a batch of american lager, and a Perry. currently I have another peach wine on the go, a cranberry/grape wine, a fourth cider and a yeast culture to grow some more of the WLP575 strain i was given. would love to hear some recipes and thoughts/ideas. cheers

Which brewery?

I work in Peterborough but live just outside of town.

Hey Im from sarnia. What type of brewing you into?

 

[Mustard]

Where is the best place for grain for the Kingston (or eastern Ontario) region? online or a craftbrew store?

 

[BrewhouseBoys]

I work at the Publican House Brewery. and a quick update as to what is in my fermenter room, a 5 gallon batch of red wine, a 5 gallon batch of rose' , 2 one gallon batches of apple cider, and most recently i made a delicious apple cider that tastes just like apple pie made with slightly tart apples. also I have been culturing yeast at home. you know reading to it, playing classical music etc.....

Ottawa here. Got 2 BIAB's in the primary; an Irish Red kit from OBK and my first attempt at a clone of Magic Hat #9 using supplies from Defalco's here in town. Also have a 5 gal Graff from the cider recipie archive bubbling away like mad.

Cheers!

Hi Brantford here!
Took the plunge into All Grain whipped up the first 3 gallon OBK Lawnmower ale yesterday.Sittin in the fermenter still waiting patiently for burps.

 

[vincentAlpha]

St. John's Newfoundland(from Ottawa originally), been doing all grain for the last few months and jumped to kegging since I had to leave all my glass behind. Currently got what'll likely be a pretty dry irish stout sitting in the pail and got another 2 batches coming up once my replacement thermometer comes in.

What's the water like to brew with there? (Unlike when i asked the same question to the guy from Walkerton, this is a serious question) I grew up near Cambridge Ont with a well and the water was rock hard. Tasty stuff but I couldn't imagine brewing with it. ...but I've only ever brewed here where lightly chlorinated RO water pours from our taps.

 

[HomeDrewBrew]

The water isnt to bad,I do have an RO system but from what ive read on here Ive reframed from using that.So their goes nothing! I guess ill know how good it tastes in a month.

I highly recommend The Brewmonger for your local supplies. I drive from Hamilton just to shop there. Jeff the owner is super helpful...

I shop there as well. I tend to cross the border and go to Niagara Tradition in Tonawanda NY more often though.

Another all grain Newfoundland brewer here,living out in Kippen's on the west coast of "the rock".

 

[actionjackson905]

Yep. That's my supply store. Going today.

Ok. So I'm in Burlington, St Caths is 45 min west, Toronto is 45min east and Brampton is 45min north. Anyone know of a good supplier in the Halton area?

There's always Brew Time on Upper James in Hamilton. Staff there are great...

I'll message you next time I brew. Should be in a couple of weeks.

I've been there. Not keen on the selection. I guess I'm just used to the full stock Toronto Brew Supply, and Canadian HB supply in Brampton have. Going to check out Burlington ASAP.

Beer and Muskoka go together like peanut butter and jam.

 

[Jimmeh-James]

North of Calgary here! Just started brewing. I have a batch I am about to cold crash tomorrow. My second brew and a partial mash.

 

[Black_Marsh_Brewer]

Howdy from St. John's NL!

I just started brewing, but me and a few other guys have been getting together and making a extract batch every sunday in the hopes of never having to buy beer from the store again... should be starting AG in the next month or so...

 

[aangel]

How's it going from Toronto!

Just started brewing, seem to be making every possible mistake along the way

 

[brewerJase]

Toronto here as well. Just learn from your mistakes and keep brewing. It gets easier.
You're also in the right place for endless info.
