Hi, I am playing around with Python and naturally I am using brewing to inspire projects. I am not a programmer. I'm hoping the forum can help in two ways. First, the BeerXML standard look woebegone. How useful is this standard? I thought all the major recipe apps supported it...

Hi, [This is a long post, and I apologize. If I ask about sanitation, it seems like I should describe my process.] I'm hoping to crowd source possible sources of a light wild yeast infection in my last beer kit. A bit of background: we brewed a few batches last year until we infected 20g...
