Hop extract

I want to try and brew a heady topper clone but I can't seem to find hop shot or any other hop extract anywhere in Canada or a shot in the us that carries it that ships to Canada. Any Ideas anyone?
Cheers

Co2 canister Refills

I'm in the process of setting up a home draft system and I've got a empty co2 tank. I was just wondering where you all went to get your tanks filled up again/recertified. Thanks!

I'm kind of disapointed as I've tried several times to join on the http://torontobottleshare.com/ website and I never seem to receive the email confirmation. I've checked my junkmail and everything. It's a shame as I'd really like to make it out to one of these events.

Storing opened hops

How do you folks store your excess hops, pellets or whole leaf? In the freezer? The fridge? Do you go to the lengths or re vacuum sealing? I've got a load leftover from a dipa i brewed yesterday and Want to preserve them as best I can.

Very true dwt.... like I said, I'm sure you'd get 'some' solid answers...and some people working at TBS may legitimately feel that one particular macro beer is the best thing there, good on them. I do wonder if TBS employees get to sample new beers that arrive? Do they do tastings of different beer...

I just returned from dinner with my girlfriend here and we were both sadly disappointed. The beers on tap were good and I especially enjoyed the mild they had on offer but it all went downhill from there. It was an ominous sign when our smoked wings, which were delicious, arrived before our beers, k...
