here's a bunch of kits at morebeer. they all list the contents, so that'll give you some good ideas as to what to get, from basic to deluxe: http://morebeer.com/browse.html?category_id=1006&keyword=&x=1&y=1 as you can see, you can go from $69US to $479US depending on how much you'd like ...

depends on how elaborate you'd like to start off. a good startup kit usually runs around $100, but generally won't include bottles or a large pot. bottles are easy to get, just save up your non-twist bottles. most folks have a 4 or 5gal pot that is suitable for doing extract brewing. so you can get ...

Josh and I crossed paths a couple of times amongst the crowd on Saturday. He seems like a friendly guy with a lot of enthusiasm for craft beer, much like his predecessor at The Star. It's nice to have him fighting the good fight. yeah, i talked with him and his brother for an hour or so. both very ...

looks like the writer from the toronto star liked it too:

I noticed a previous poster uploaded to Flickr as well. If anyone has photos of the event they would like to share, feel free to post them in the group. looks like the photo group is growing. i see a few other bartowel names on there. just added a bunch of my own to the mix. enjoy! edit: hmmm, seem...

I think Ralph was interested in gathering people's votes on best beer and also best beer name, so I just sent them an e-mail with my votes (info@barvolo.com). he said he wants to get something on the website so people can vote for their favourite beer + name, so we might not all want to flood him w...

flip wrote:FYI: I just received an official response from Sylvia. As we suspected, the order was generated on October 16th.

excellent. glad to see this progressing. any idea when we might see this? as someone else mentioned, it'd be great to have it for the holidays, but i don't know if that's realistic.

Just can't figure this one...maybe it is great from cask and the tank-conditioned and cold filtered bottle version does not work well with this recipe. that's exactly what i've been told. a friend of mine had it on cask at the brewery and said that it's heavenly on cask but only a disappointing sha...

i've got an extra ticket for the first session if anyone is interested. drop me a pm.

(also posted on BA, so first response i see gets it)

that was quick! gone already. sorry to anyone who missed out.

Didn't we discuss a while back posting our own cellar inventories in the event people would like to make trades? there's always the wants+gots feature on beeradvocate. not sure how much crossover there is between here and there, but that seems easier to manage than everyone posting here. i've trade...

yeah, they've been working on both sites today. the link from barvolo.com now works in ff too, and the content of caskdays.com is also filling out.

i still haven't seen any belhaven wee heavy (in lcbo inventory but not in any stores), the fuller's vintage ale 2006 and erdinger dunkel are also MIA.

Just noticed a link to this on the Volo site: http://www.caskdays.com/ The site is incomplete, but the list of brewers is up. Looks like the cat's out of the bag regarding the contributors from Quebec... :wink: i've been looking at the little "volo cask days" icon in the corner for the la...
