He's a complete ass to deal with though. Far better to get stuff from torontobrewing or brewerspantry. Ontario Beer Kegs is getting a lot of homebrew ingredients now as well. $6 whitelabs yeast will get my business.

I tried this on the weekend thanks to Zuma. I would have never bought it on my own, I didn't think the amber base would work at all. I really didn't think I was going to like it.

It was my understanding that leaving your beer on the dry hops too long can impart a grassyness, like when you dry hop in your serving keg, however I've dry hopped in the keg and haven't gotten it from my beers.

Late notice is better than no notice and all that ...
