Anyone know more about this item:
"Patrick Brochu impressed us all with his
home-made digital temperature probe - a
device that allows his PalmPilot to record
temperature readings of a mash."
or have a contact for Patrick? Sounds like a
good solution to my thermometer need and what
to do with an old palm that I have.

Thought I'd give a quick intro, I've done
alot of wine kits and felt there was no use
buying my beer so why not brew it as well.
I've done beer three kits, the latest was a
Barons No-Boil which I am a bit impressed
with - not that it's great but that it's
definitely OK. I've also just done my first
extract recipe aiming for a British Mild but
it stopped at 1.022 and as far as I can tell
it's either a Laaglander or similar DME that
has alot of unfermentables. Bought it at
DeFalco's but they assure me that they only
buy Muntons. Anyway it's bottled and we'll
see what happens in a week or two.
I figure with all the fuss with the extract
recipe why not just switch over to 3 gallon
all-grain, which is where I'm headed. Seems
simple enough and I can still use the stove
with the oven as a mash tun. If I add extra
grain I can not worry about spare efficiency.

Hi,
I have been brewing on and off for quite a long time, but recently came into more equipemnt and time. Since my new house has plenty of hobby space, I have really been getting into playing with brewing.
I have been on and off this and other web sites getting ideas and sometimes just reading for advice and info. Since I am now looking for more specific info, and also feel that I may be able to add a word or two of value, I thought that I would stop lurking and join the discussion.
Cheers!
Mike

| Question on Priming |

I am dabling in homebrewing. I am toying with the idea of priming with either maple syrup or honey (most likely maple syrup) and was looking for advice on just how much would be required for this purpose.
Also, any comments on adding this to the secondary would also be welcome.
I figure by adding for priming, I may be able to retain a lot of the flavour.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Mike

I'm an student at Carleton U. I've been brewing from kits on and off for about six years now. My setup is fairly standard with a couple of corny kegs. I used to get great results from ingredients bought in bulk but I can no longer find them locally. My last two batches were Cooper's kits and turned out okay but were a little wattery since I used corn sugar rather than malt extract. Well, I'm hoping to go bigger and better soon but I have some learning to do first. This looks like the place to start.
Cheers

Hi everyone, I'm a new homebrewer as of half a year ago. I am still a novice however I use pre-hopped extract kits such as cooper, morgans and brewmaker then customized with hi-malt glucose, DME, and various added flavourings. I'm still experimenting with kits and really like how they turn out, will eventually go all grain but want to get comfortable taking my time with kits for now. I am also a winemaker too.

Hello All:
I used to be an associate homebrewer on a few dodgy batches back in my fraternity days. I really can't beleive some of those batches we made ever worked out but they ended up tasting not to bad.

Hello MoB!
My name is BrewerBen and its been one week since my last brew. In fact I am an on again off again brewer and an Ottawa ex-pat. I currently live in Toronto. I have been doing partial mash for several years with my brother and we are looking to get into all grain. In fact due to a very large misunderstanding our last batch was an improvised all grain brew. (that is another story altogether). Suffice to say I am looking forward to the result. Anyways my brother and I collectively refer to ourselves as 'The Two Brewers'. We won a gold medal in 2000 for our Stout in the Great Canadian Homebrew Competition. That was the last, and first, competition we entered together. We are looking at getting into more serious brewing on a more regular basis. I am glad to have found this site. I am also in Ottawa several times a year so maybe we will actually get to meet up at some point in the future. I am currently looking for some All-Grain equipment so any help on that fron t would be appreciated.....(Kettle, liquor tank, chiller etc. I have a minibrew mash tun) Anyways I look forward to being a part of this virtual H.B. club!
Cheers,
BB

I'd like to invite everyone to submit their entries for the 2005 edition of March in Montreal. Last year was our best year with almost 200 entries and we hope to top that this year. We will be accepting entries from all beer categories in the new 2004 BJCP style guidelines as well as a special look-a-like category. Sorry, no cider or mead. The competition will be judged by BJCP-recognized judges with the exception of the look-a-like category which will be judged by the professionals of the brewery. This year's look-a-like beer is Le Cheval Blanc Blanche from Brasseurs RJ. The deadline for submissions is
19-Feb-05. Categories will be collapsed if necessary and awards will be granted in each judged category. This year's winner of Best of Show will be brewed and bottled for commercial release by La Brasserie Les Trois Mousquetaires. The brewer's name will appear on the label (unless the brewer prefers not). Competition entry forms are available from CABA's website at www.homebrewers.ca in the Competitions section.
Please note that the competition forms incorrectly list Le Cheval Blanc Ambree as the look-alike beer if you downloaded them prior to now. The corrected forms should soon be available on the CABA website. To be clear, the look-alike category is Le Cheval Blanc Blanche.

| Source for heating element couplings?? |

Enjoyed seeing the electric powered boilers and wondered if anyone could advise where to get the coupling mounts for the electric heating elements? I'm thinking the elements take a straight pipe thread of 1" while most are npt.
I'm outside of Canada, but I've been to Winsor and Toronto.
Any help appreciated.
