Had some folks in today canning up beer for staff gifts - well beer and cider. We had a BC apple cider, a Corona style lager, 3 different IPAs and an Irish Stout with labels and everything.
Figured a list of Homebrew Supply Stores across Metro Vancouver would probably be a good thing! I'll keep this post updated as a sticky...

Hi. Anyone know where I can get my kegerator co2 filled?
My team and I are hoping to learn how people feel about hard kombucha. If you've got a few minutes free today, help a fellow beer lover out. I need at least 100 responses to the survey below to pass the course 🤲
Looking for Spent grain to be used for a local fundraiser for Paws for Hope.
If you've brewed recently instead of composting lmk!
Does anybody know of a place near downtown/central Vancouver to get a C02 canister filled?
** UPDATE **
All of the equipment found a new and good home, thanks folks!

These items are up for grabs in Vancouver. Available for pick-up after 7pm or 11am-3pm weekends near Broadway-City Hall Station:
My spouse and I are planning on giving away cider as wedding favors. The cider we like is a beautiful color and it's a shame to use a amber beer bottle.
We've been unsuccessful at finding clear, 355ml beer bottles.
We need 120 and they have to be able to have bottle caps (NOT TWIST)
Can anyone help?!!!
I'm looking to try making a batch of hopped apple cider but don't want to cross a bridge on this lovely day.
Whats up Vancouver homebrewers.
I'm going to be in Van tomorrow until monday, for the Canadian brewing Awards conference. As the conference doesn't officially start until the 26th, and I get in fairly late on the 25th, I was wondering if you guys knew of any decent bars near the sheraton in richmond.
Sorry, I couldn't find a specific Vancouver beer scene subreddit, but I figured if anyone knew of a good spot it'd be a bunch of homebrewers. I was a homebrewer myself before I got into professional brewing, and you guys always know the best spots.
cheers!
I'm getting married this summer and just got the bright idea to serve my own homebrew but can't afford to buy a bunch of new kegs that I won't need after. Does anyone know where I could rent (or possibly borrow from a kind soul) 4 Cornelius kegs until late summer?
Looking for a used 7 gallon conical fermentor. Preferably Blichmann conical fermenter. Let me know if you are looking to sell.
I have some time off for brewing so I thought I'd give a shout here.
Got lots of bottles, need the carboys, a bottle capper, filling stuff. Not going to start filling kegs though. I have a whole kitchen to work with (when the wife isn't ironing her scrubs in there).
I AM a talented woodworker so could trade work for supplies but cash will work too.

I've had a co-op position at a 'brew your own' establishment in the past and so I have a good general sense of the procedures involved.
I wanted to ask if someone could point me in the direction of sourcing some cheap buckets with the right valves to get myself started.
Also, I'd love to be able to make my own cider but I don't know if such a thing is possible or where I'd even get the juice to start with. Thanks for your time, :)
Hi All, I am new to home brewing and recently created my first all grain batch. I am hoping that i would be able to share a couple of bottles with someone with the hope they would be able to taste and provide honest feedback.
In the next few months I want to make a couple different fruited berliner weisse style beers. Does anyone know where to get commercially pasteurized fruit purees?
Wanted to go the easy route and want to see who makes/has good ones they tried.
In a very close future, I will be driving down to Washington state coming from British Columbia. I want to bring a few homebrews to family I got down there.
Now my question is, what are the regulations for that? I don't want the american border patrols to think im smuggling meth or moonshine or bombs or terrorists.
Let's start sharing some more ideas guys. What have you got in store? Pictures of final product/ process would be fantastic!

Hey all,
Does anyone have a nitro set up going?
Where did you get your equipment?
Who fills your beer gas?
Is there anything I should know before I jump into it?
Any interest in an AMA from someone who works as a brewer at a Vancouver brewery? If so post your questions here! I'd be happy to answer them.
