Hi. I'm from Vancouver BC, a new convert to homebrew, and I've been perusing these pages for a while and thought I'd introduce myself. I lived in Scotland the past couple of years where I fell in love with cask ale, and before that, I lived in Montreal, where the local brew pub and microbreweries fostered a decade-long courtship of deliciousness. My first long-term goal as a homebrewer is to brew an Oatmeal Stout approaching McAuslan's.
Right now my equipment is a 40 L stainless steel stockpot (from a store called 'Tinland', which should be an indicator of its quality),a few carboys and swing-tops purchased from Craigslist, and a bathtub (for chilling, not brewing!). But, the sky's the limit.
