    Brew Timer for Android

    I have been using this app since Feb 2011 and have recommend it to all my friends. One feature I have always wanted to see was a "Mash Timer Mode" We typically think of the boil as a single long process with events happening at specific time remaining. Where as we think of the mash as a...

    So what would you do?

    Ok I ordered everything to carb outside my serving kegarator however I got a CO2 distributor with 1/4' barbs. Everything else is 5/16" barbs/hose. I know the hose will fit fine because I plan to use Plex clamps anyway (I hate typical "worm" gear clamps). I also believe the flow rate of gas won't...

    beersmith carbonation question

    Your batch size needs to be the amount to be bottled. It calculates the gravity for priming based on your batch size assuming that's the same amount you intend to bottle. If you get less you'll end up over carbed and more it'll under carb

    Software for using available ingredients

    Thanks for being that rude. As I was to understand the OP's question was to just that; put in a some random ingrediants and get a reciepe out of thin air. WHICH is why I took the time to explain the inventory feature on Beer Smith. Apparently I didn't do it that well. Not to mention I...

    Software for using available ingredients

    Beer Smith has inventory. You can input your inventory and it will keep track. You can add everything from Malts to Bottle Caps to Water Addatives. As long as it's in the reciepe it will remove the items from your inventory on brew day. Then you can go and creat a new reciepe and there's an...

    beersmith carbonation question

    I have been told it's the highest temp your beer was during fermentation. As Beer Smith calculates "residual carbination" caused by fermentation. If you maintained a temp of 60f during fermentation it would have more desolved CO2 from the main ferment then a beer fermented at 70f. Due gases...

    Brew Timer for Android

    Love Temperature switch efficient wiring

    What I did was use the wires going to/from the stock temperature controller of my fridge. What you search the web for the repair diagram for the unit you have. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/ is a good place to start. In most units the part your looking for is "Cool Control". On my fridge...
