Anyone know of a Canadian equivalent to the “good belly” probiotic drinks that are available in the us? I can’t easily get the lacto blends to pitch for kettle souring and was looking for an alternative. I know you can pitch a handful of grain into the wort but I’d rather not go that route. TIA.

Brewed a milk stout a couple weeks ago, checked the gravity and it seems to have stopped at 1.022, og was 1.048. It's only 3.4abv, pretty sad beer. It tastes good but I would like a little more abv. I'm gonna rack to secondary and raise the temp a few degrees maybe it will ferment a bit more...

Hey guys i got a water report for my area, i don't know much about how to read it, does the water look ok for general brewing? hopefully the attachment is readable..

So I have quite a few brews under my belt now but have a consistent issue with a salty bitter aftertaste. After racking my brain, scouring though palmers how to brew I'm starting to think its my water. I have a water softener and I've been reading that this will not be helping the mash process (...

Just a quick question. I see a lot of guys using the glass style carboys for fermenting, these usually are 5gal I assume. Question is, for a 19litre batch is a 5gal carboy big enough to primary in? Being that 5gal is 22 litres and some change that seems to be a little tight to me ?? What you...

So I just got a partial mash kit, it's pretty clear except one thing. I bring my wort up to about 160f for about 30-40 min with the grains in. When that's done I put the bag in a sieve and pour boiling water over (sparge?). My question is (instructions are a little confusing) do I keep the grain...

What kinda volume for a typical 5 gallon partial mash brew needs to boil on stove? Just wondering what size of pot I'm gonna need??

Just cracked my first HOMEBREW. Not too shabby, got another barrel brewing, life is good.
