Have you ever used organic ingredients to make your beer? What did you think?

Have you tried Beau’s All Natural Brewing Company beer? It's delicious, you can try it here http://www.beaus.ca/find.
They did a blind taste test with 76 people and 75 out of 76 preferred the organic beer and the 76th person couldn't decide. ]]>Thu, 02 Jun 2011 15:28:15 -0500http://www.sodacentre.com/1/post/2011/06/root-beer-making-kits.htmlWe have lots of Root Beer making kits in the store. ]]>Thu, 12 May 2011 17:16:41 -0500http://www.sodacentre.com/1/post/2011/05/hard-to-find-nsa-caps.htmlWe recently had a request from someone in the USA who had an NSA with some caps that have cracked and couldn't find replacements.

In case your in the same boat, yes, we have NSA caps available in the store. ]]>Mon, 07 Feb 2011 18:08:54 -0500http://www.sodacentre.com/1/post/2011/02/stout-grain.htmlHey there.  I'm looking to soup up a coopers stout kit with some specialty grain.  what kinds of specialty grains would you recommend me to use?  I guess the amount of grain just depends on how strong i want the beer to end up?


   Cheers!

My first thought would be to add chocolate if you want it more stoutie. Probably about 1/2kg.

Let me know how it

   I purchased one of your starter kits over the holidays.  I'm wondering how much dextrose should be used when making the Coopers IPA (3.75 lbs malt) beer that came with the kit.  There is a bag of dextrose that came with the kit, but i'm not sure how much is in the bag or whether some of that dextrose is for priming. 

Thanks for your help!

Good morning!

Put 1/2 (1kg) in now, a little bit more will give you a higher alcohol. Save 1 cup to 1 1/4 for priming once its at 1002-1003 (at least under 1005).

Good luck!

Post on our blog or email us what types you like and will need in the next couple of months.

Anything else you'd like to see in the store?

The simplist way to get the value out of your hops is to boil them. Put a filter in your coffee machine, put your hop pellets in a bag add 3-4 cups of water and turn it on. Or try a cup at a time to get the stregth your looking for.

Simple, fast, clean.
