I'd like to hear some opinions of fellow brewers regarding brewing units and measures. I know when i buy gas and check the weather its in liters and ºC. Are we so so influenced on a CANADIAN brew site by the U.S. that all our recipes and comments are in gallons and ºF C'mon folks who in Canada is using the fahrenheit scale!.... I know its easy to convert but it is till is a pet peeve of mine. I SAY WE RAISE OUR BEERS TO THE CANADIAN FLAG AND UNITE! BECOME ONE WITH THE METRIC SYSTEM!.....but lets keep measuring with feet and inches until we get to kilometers and weigh ourselves in LBS not KG's lol!
Beer won't solve your problems...but neither will milk!

I brew my beers using the metric system. Even if I'm brewing an american style recipe, I feel much more patriotic once I've converted it to metric. It helps that I use the Biabacus, which seems to be set up for the metric system, although it does convert to american units.
I've been brewing in metric since I got high speed internet (10 yrs?) I always fought with the guys on HBT about the size of a gallon? Haha Many of them didn't understand what I was talking about. I still use imperial on the golf course though.
