Homebrew supply store in Toronto, Canada??

Hi, everyone, supplier can help me get started. Any help is highly appreciated.

your-own shop, but the guy there will sell you extract, grain, hops-- whatever you need. Just bring your own containers. (If you forget containers you can buy some from the greek bakery next door, but they`re a little flimsy for liquid extract). He seems to have a decent turnaround so stuff is fresh... hth Lanny

There are quite a few places in scarborough to find brewing equiptment. For the equiptment itself I would go to the Winekitz on Kennedy it`s about two books north of Lawrence of the west side. The phone # is 416 735-8311. For ingredients and bottles you might try The brewing Experince on Midland just North of Lawrence on the west side ( in the strip mall with Van and Truck World). For ingredence and kegging equiptment you might try The Soda Center of Kingston rd about two blocks south of Lawrence again of the west side they are in the back corner of the strip mall with the dry cleaners and a little hard to spot if you are coming north on Kingston road. He also has a far selection of glassware, taps, winemaking equiptment and books. Good luak and Happy brewing Maurice.

so i`m no expert) is a food grade 5 gal. (cdn) pail that i use for primary fermentation. There are 2 aproach on primary fermentation, you can either do a closed fermentation with an airlock or open fermentation using a blow off tube. Personnaly i do open fermentation for primary and just put the lid on (not airtigth) and a clean dishwashing cloth over the top. At this stage the wort is not so sensitive because it produce CO2 and will prevent infection.
When primary fermentation is finished (4 to 7 days), i transfer to secondary (carboy) using a siphon to leave the turb in my primary. Here i use an airlock since fermentation is almost over and not enough CO2 is produced to stop air from contamination the beer. Secondary is optional but i always done it and find it make a clearer beer and permit it to age a bit more.
When you botle you have to be completely sure fermentation is finished or you can have exploding botles. You also have to add dextrose to restart fermentation in botles a bit or you would have flat beer (no more than 3/4 cup in a 5 gal. batch, see how to brew it`s well explained).
You don`t need to filter the beer unless you used grains and hops. In that case just strain it in a cheese cloth. Filtering is an advanced thechnique and coffee filter are not good for that.
Last thing, make sure your bottles are kept away from the sun or neon if they aren`t brown.
