This happened to be the last time I kegged a NEIPA. In a panic I had to quickly change plans and use a good 'ol fashion auto-siphon. Somehow the beer turned out fine.

Hey all, It's been a while since I've posted an update on MIBrew. In the past 6 months we've released several updates including BeerXML support, a brewing water salt addition calculator and much, much more. A new update just rolled out earlier this week. Full details...

Interestingly enough there is an article about IBUs in the latest Zymurgy. Not sure of all the details just yet as I just browsed it, but it talks about 60+ min additions not adding more IBUs.

If you cooled to 170F before your whirlpool, you shouldn't have added any more IBUs as you are below the isomerization temp. As far I know that stops around 175F.

I think this looks pretty good. I'd probably leave the Carapils out of the mash and use Briess Golden Light since it already has Carapils in it. I'd also dry hop with a combination of the hops above and not just Simcoe. A Simcoe / Cascade blend would be great.

I brew a lot of 30 minute batches, mainly because I teach a lot of brewing classes and there is too much dead time in a 60 minute boil. You'll have to tweak your recipes on both your bittering and late hop additions.

Hey all, It's been awhile since my last update here. We've pushed out a few updates over the past few months with the last one just going up this evening. This new update fixes a few bugs (mostly some navigation quirks) and adds Brewing Steps to extract beers. We use and tested these a lot...

Good points and thanks for posting it here. I'm actually looking at a way to create recipes without having to sign up. I think a lot of users would like that option.

Hey all, Just pushed out another update for MIBrew that cleans up a bunch of bugs and introduces a few new minor features. Please check em out and let me know what you think. MIBrew updates for 9/13/2016: New Feature! Recipe Family Tree - you can now view the lineage of a recipe. If it is...

Just pushed out a rather large update to MIBrew. https://www.mibrewsupply.com/recipe Here is a full list of the other changes that just rolled out: You can now leave comments on a recipe! This will allow recipe creators and users to interact and discuss recipe details, ideas and more...

haha my favorite kind of bug! Appreciate the update.

That's pretty far off. I'll look for your recipe and recreate it in BeerSmith to see why it varies. This has been a problem. The recipes automatically save, but the publish process is manual. I've gotta find a way to make it more obvious that a recipe can't be seen unless it's public. We'll...

Thanks for the input and really good point. I'll work on a conversion option. Right now a recipe is locked into whatever unit are used to create it.

You rock! Thank you so much for this. We did about 4 months of beta testing with some key users but I know there are still things we can be doing better. See my notes below: I've struggled with this for a while mostly due to my stubbornness of wanting the batch size to be the volume that is...

Thanks! Please let me know what you think. Next round of updates will be coming out late next week.
