  I've loved iBrewmaster. The batch feature is great for brewday record keeping and modification.
  I've also messed with Beersmith mobile. Beersmith has the cloud feature which is great for
  multidevice u...

  I just finished my electric HERM build. The HLT element just heats water. The boiling kettle is
  also electric but I've had no detectable problems with the wort contacting the element. I love
  it - brew...

• Posted in thread: Always use a blowoff tube! on 05-01-2013 at 07:02 PM
  Just had my 1.051 porter with S-04 yeast climb out my airlock. I got lazy and didn't start with
  a blowoff. Still, not much of a mess and I got the blow off in before real damage. I like the
  tubing on ...

• Posted in thread: Stainless brewing dry hopper on 04-21-2013 at 01:24 PM
  Just ordered a Stainless Brewing dry hopper. I've never dry hopped in the keg. Do you take it
  out of the keg after a few days? I typically don't open my keg again after things are carbed up
  but I don'...

• Posted in thread: Belgian Tripel stalled at 1.030. on 02-25-2013 at 07:45 PM
  I'm hijacking this a little to ask about aging a Belgian. I started a dubbel on 1/5. The
  original gravity was 1076. Used White Trappist Ale yeast. I let the fermentation go wild in a
  62 degree room. A...

  So you carb at room temperature? Doesn't that require more time and pressure to get the same
  volume of co2?It does require higher pressure; most of the calculators allow you to set your
  temperature to...

• Posted in thread: How long do you boil your starter? on 02-14-2013 at 06:17 PM
  I boil 15 minutes in the ehrlenmeyer flask. I use a little fermcap and haven't noticed a big
  boil off. I do cover loosely with foil.

  I learned a neat trick on HBT for mylar bags. The mylar bags are too smooth and collapse when
  you use them in the foodsaver. If you cut a little piece of a foodsaver roll (the rough side),
  you can tuc...

  Is there a way to add a batch that's not on their list?Yeah, you create it as a recipe first
