Thanks!!!!

I don't have beersmith but I'm thinking about getting it. Question. I like to brew 5.5 gallons and always have to do the math to figure out the increases of ingredients I need to make. In beersmith if I was to load a 5 gal recipe, will the software do the calculations for me if I want to...

Ahhh, not sure why I didn't think about serving lines. 5 foot lines, 3/16th, avg temp 35/36f.

I have a 4 keg keezer and for the most part my kegs are carbed the same because I usually have 4 different wheat beers. Here is the question. I normally don't drink beer Sunday through Thursday so my kegs are sitting that whole time until the weekend. Lets say my kegs are carbed at 13psi...

In the photo, the rubber feet are on the three metal legs, you can see them on top as someone mentioned. Those should be on the bottom which helps hold it on the glass lid. The updated CFC from what I understand doesn't have the rubber feet. So in either case, you just want to be sure that...

So I just made my 4th batch of beer on my GF Saturday and each time my preboil SG reading has been low. In last batch, my preboil OG came in at 1.036 (calibrated refrac). My post boil right before pitching came in at 1.044 (calibrated hydro). Expected OG is supposed to be 1.048. This batch...

I didn't see anyone else say anything, but just in case, wanted to let you know your chiller is on upside down. :mug:

I figured a few folks switched it over to a ball valve, but I am starting in the morning so wont have time to make the mod for it. I was thinking of using a piece of string to tie around the tap and gradually tighten it until I get the flow I want. not sure if it will work or not. Going to...

FINALLY getting to brew with my GF tomorrow, I had so much travel after I got it that I couldn't plan a brew day. Well tomorrow is the day, starting off with a Hefe and then may brew a Kolsch on Saturday. So my question is this. For those of you that use the GF Sparge Water Heater (or...

Anyone brew this on a Grainfather yet?

Got my GF and Grain Coat yesterday!!! I still plan to get their Sparge Water Heater and I have a couple of extract batches to brew so it will probably be Aug or September before I can use it. I'm fine with that as it will give me time to get a portable stand made and also check everything out...

Thanks. That's kinda why I was curious, I ordered it Wednesday and haven't gotten a tracking number yet. I'm not upset or anything, just was curious as to how long it took them to ship. 5 days isn't bad at all for the actual shipping time. Thanks again!

So I ordered my Grainfather and grain coat this past Wednesday from the GF website. Question for those of you who ordered yours from the website, how long did it take you to receive it? Thanks!

Whew, tough crowd! LOL! I was just asking a simple question. Didn't have any new features in mind, I was just being curious... No biggie! I'll be getting mine probably around July/August.
