Welcome to HBT. Are you keeping warm or are you in the Western part of Canada?

@TxBrew Here is an old mug from my youth filled with some of my own beer made in St, Brieux ( Saint Brew ) Saskatchewan.

Each province and territory is free to set its own drinking age. The legal age for purchase is: 19 years of age in BC, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, Ontario, PEI, Saskatchewan, and Yukon. 18 years of age in Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec.

I am not an electrician. Many homes in Canada have a split plugs in the kitchen counter. This means you could have two circuits on your kitchen plugs. So if you were to plug in a kettle and an electric fry pan each would be on a separate breaker within your apartment. They may share this circuit...

Live right in the middle of the grain growing area of Western Canada. Best place to get malt is from the LHBS. The malt distributor in the area has a "small order surcharge" of $10 per order that applies unless you buy 15 bags at once. http://westernmalt.webs.com/brochure.htm The LBHS in the...

This old Grandfather tries to use Metric for everything. Too much confusion with U.S. Gallons, Imperial Gallons, Quarts, #%@*&

We live in the middle of the North American Grain growing area. I have yet to meet a farmer who does not want to make a batch of beer from barley he has grown on his own land. Thank you for your write up.

One organic method of weed control is to chop off the seed head of the wild grass when it is not mature and leave the plant as mulch for the barley. In one of your photos you can see the wild grass is taller than the barley crop. If you have a longer growing season than the barley requires...

Thank you, I did not have a problem with mashing thin and sparging less I am just wondering if any problems would occur and if I can roll this way all the time.

I am not a beginner, however I do have a question about brewing equipment. Please forgive me if this seems obvious, IAMA Grandfather with not enough coffee perhaps? I have newly insulated Sanke: keggle and hlt. I am wondering about making a thin mash. Last batch, I did not have any idea of the...

I have added a heavy duty windscreen heat focus band to my KAB6 burner that I brew with. I now use less gas and have faster heating times. Brewed four batches with a keggle boil pot and this modification is working great. https://goo.gl/photos/13c2yJAchFS9G1yn7

Here, in the middle of Saskatchewan Canada cold weather can mess up your brewing. My weather link. I have problems when the temperature drops below -20 C or -4 F with my 30 lbs propane tank. My solution is to kick the burner outside and leave the propane tank in the warm garage. Heat all...
