We are Canada's first and, to the best of our knowledge, only virtual homebrew club. We began life in Ottawa Ontario and our main core membership remains there but we currently have active members throughout Ontario, Quebec and the East Coast as well as part-time members in Western Canada.
Although there are no membership dues or regular meetings, we often have group tastings and group activities like Big Brews. We also have an active club mailing list where we discuss brewing topics ranging from where to buy equipment locally to brewing chemistry. NOTE : if you click the link to the mailing list, you'll get a certificate error. This is normal and nothing to worry about - it just means I was too cheap to renew my certificate.
Read the club FAQ to find out how to join the MoB.

I live in Iqaluit Nunavut and travel through Ottawa quite often but find it tough to find brewing ingredients.
Any help would be great.

Hi,
I'm new. :D
I just got a corny keg setup and am really looking forward to years of bottle free beers :)
Making a keg portable poses a problem. I have seen the little 16g disposable cylinder things.
I have a 12oz co2 cylinder i confiscated from my son. (Paintball Gun)
can I use that? how would i hook it up?
Thanks
Barry

Jesse here.
I've been brewing concentrate kits for 18 years now, and have tried my hand at a few all-grain and partial mashes with great success.
I also work at Defalco's and have probably dealt with one or two of you in the past.
I am wondering what common brewing equipment/ingredients people would like made available in the area. I can't say Defalco's will carry everything that is suggested, but I can certainly push for the high demand items to be brought in.
Oh, and Defalco's will be carrying Wyeast again in the coming months.
I write this as a community service only and not an advertisment for my employer.
Thank you, and happy brewing.

| Liquid Yeast strains |

I am looking into getting some liquid yeast for my next couple of batches. Up until now, I've been relying on dried generic yeast (Coopers, and Muntons mostly).
I am wondering what people are using for liquid yeast cultures?
And for what type of brews?
Any questionable results from certain strains?
Is there a really good all purpose strain for lagers that you'd swear by?
How about ales?
I thank you for your suggestions and advice in advance.

Just a short note to introduce myself. I have recently returned to home brewing after a lomng time away. I used to do extract brew kits with hop addtions but have now gone to all grain. It still not good enough to serve to guests but it is getting better.
Any homebrewers out near Erin, Ontario???

Hi all.
A new nine-month old daughter has put a temporary hold on brewing while we refinish the basement to accomodate all of the related stuff that goes along with a child.
I do like to lagers in the summer and I am a big fan of the new Creemore Pilsner. However, I just got some new ale glasses for my birthday and I am itching to try a lighter ale. Any suggestions?

Hello,
I've just joined the club. My wife Kate and I have been all grain brewing for the last 8 years. We started when we lived in Oregon. Now we live in the beautiful Mascarene highlands of New Brunswick.

| Keg Conversion H/W in Msga/TO |

Hi,
I recently acquired a keg that I am going to convert to a brew kettle. I know about Swagelok for fittings. I would like a list of fittings that are required ie .... Stainless Steel Pipe Fitting, Hex Nipple, 3/8 in. Male NPT example Swagelok SS-6-HN. Also, if anyone has recommendations for a welding shop in the Mississauga/Toronto area (quality but not too expensive :>). Other parts or part supplier recommendations are also appreciated.
Cheers,
The Iceman

It's that time of year again - Big Strange Brew 7 is just around the corner! This is an annual event where brewers get together with their equipment "to brew a crazy amount of beer". Non-brewers are invited to come out and see what all-grain brewing is all about. We still do not have all the plans finalised for this year, but typically it goes like this ...
