Awesome! Good luck. I'll be buying some malt from you soon, your markup is reasonable given I won't have to drive to Fergus. Maybe I'm missing something, but why are you driving to Fergus to get malts? There are places in Toronto to get 25kg of base malts and smaller quantities of specialty malts. ...

I helped Troy out around the judging table for the finals, and based on a few samples and the deliberation between the judges, it looked like there were a lot of great beers in the finals. It must have been a tough decision. Congratulations to the winners. And shameless plug... If anyone wants to en...

I've bottled beers that looked fairly murky on bottling day, but after two or three weeks of conditioning, they typically improved a lot in appearance. As for auto-siphons, I'm a fan. I apparently can't make simple physics work, so I struggle with racking canes. I only brew a handful of times a year...

I picked up a couple of bottles last week and then opened one up one night. It's tasty, but only to a point. For my tastes, it would have been better as a standard-sized 340mL bottle than the 500mL bottle it's in. I like the spiciness of it, but it starts to get a bit sickly sweet after awhile. With...

Uh ... right. And now a post that's back on topic... I stopped into the Pickering Brock Road LCBO on Hallowe'en in the hopes of scoring another bottle or two (I'd shared what I still had a few days before -- I should note everyone I introduced it to thought it was great). I asked the store's beer gu...
