I am now in the market for an old piano. Seriously...WELL DONE!

I also got an email from him (that's why I asked) after I sent a thanks for the update, so I know he at least reads them. I'm going to give this app another chance because I still like it better than ibrewmaster

I was so excited to see an update for this app that I immediately installed it. I hope the issues identified thus far are going to be corrected. Just curious, have you guys emailed brew pal support? The guy may not even read this forum.

I checked it today.....PERFECT! I went ahead and bottled it. It tasted exactly like I had hoped!! Just a slight but not overpowering lemon flavor. Its going to be a great summer session beer. I think daksin was right...I used quite a bit of zest for what I was going for. If I had left it...

I'll say it again, Its redundant! Doh...sorry for the double post

There are far more varieties of grain than extracts. Same with liquid yeasts vs. dry packs. Honestly, all grain brewing is no harder than extract brewing, it just takes a MLT and a bit more time in your brew day.

Cool, thanks guys! Do I need to do anything to avoid contamination? Like sanitize it somehow, or is it not an issue?

Greetings! I have an American wheat ready to bottle. Nothing special to it, but I was thinking about adding lemon flavoring to mimic a summer shandy. Is there any way I can add lemon flavor after fermentation? It's been in primary for around 4 weeks now.

This is all kinds of awesome. Bravo!

Do a youtube search for "batch sparge", and you will find more information than you need to know! And you will need a 7+ gallon pot for boiling a full batch. You will likely be boiling 6 or more gallons to yield 5-5.25 gallons in the fermenter, so ideally you would have an 8 or 9 gallon kettle.

Do you already have some of that stuff? If so, it seems pretty expensive. My setup looks a lot like revvy's, but I use a rectangular cooler, and I dont have a fancy work table like he does ;) Mine is just a piece of plywood over a couple saw horses! I would work on just the stuff you need...
