Anyone read my post on this ten year old can? (I personally could not find it ... Newbies mistake!)
Any way I brew this super braw Pilsner last Saturday started fermenting last Monday very slow raised the temp by 5~10 degrees still slow, now Sunaday, afer (one week of brewing)it ihas stopped!? there was no sugar added in this kit, could age have had an effect? Am I gonna loose that brew?
Should I open the bucket and pour some sugar? what kind? , how much?

Good evening,
Being from the Toronto area,
would the member of Barleyment authorities object to add a brew shop of the Toronto area to the equipment vendors list?
Could be useful to the members and even might attract other GTA area brewers...
in anycase here it is:
The Wine & BeerFactory
130 Queen Stret East
Brampton, Ontario
(905) 451 9463
www.wineandbeerfactory.com
** No affiliation**
Just a great little shop
Recoomended to me by, might be someone here !?
Regards,
Alain Pascal Routhier

.. Well I stumbled on your great webSite sometime ago and soon felt the urge to start brewing again. I went to retrieve the beer kit I had from the storage, and last weekend started cleaning it. To my surprise I found 2 un-used kits:
Geordie Mild
and
Superbrau Pilsner
... I could not resist...
Those were forgotten in the Plastic bucket around 1991, yes 1991...
The Pilsner requiered no added sugar so...
even if the yeast was not dead but rotten. I soon was boilling everything and left it over night. Went to get yeast the next morning, 'revived' the yeast and pitched.
Well it is bubbling (slowly) as we speak.
3 questions:
1-Is leaving it over night without yeast could have damaged this vintaged (!) beer?
2-Is there an advantage in transfering (after 2 wks) the brew in a carboy and let it age there 2-3 weeks?
3- should I add sugar to the carboy or in each bottle before bottling?
Thanks!
Alain Pascal Routhier

A buffer is a mixture of a weak acid and its salt.The concept of a buffer is hard to understand unless you are aware of what enables a buffer to do its job. Please read on for more information on pH & Buffers.

If you guys have not already heard the A.L.E.S. Club of Saskatchewan is now hosting the Canadian Qualifier for the A.H.A. The deadline for entry is April 30. We have really been promoting our club to be about learning and training and have developed a price structure in line with that. The first six entries are $6 and after that every entry is $1. We are encouraging everyone to enter their beer into multiple catagories to help them learn where it best fits and get good comments back from our judges to help the entrants improve their brewing skills. We are also attracting some of the best judges in the country to help us judge them. We are offering over $1000.00 in prizes (which I think is also a very good incentive). Another area that we are focused on as a club is in supporting other clubs events through entry and participation. We have developed strategies to make that easier for us and others. One suggestion I might offer is to group ship (as opposed to individually). We have found that getting together one night to pack our beers (and drink some as well) and ship them collectively saves us hundreds of dollars every year. Our entry form will be available online within the next couple of weeks at our website alesclub.com. I will let you all know when it is available. If you have any questions you can contact me at rtemple@accesscomm.ca. Thanks MoB.
