I am using both BeerSmith2 and iBrewMaster2 currently and both have bottle carbing calculators. I understand everything there BUT the temp input. What temp is this supposed to be? The temperature of the beer when adding priming sugar? The temp I'll be carbing at? Any input would be helpful!

So I translated a recipe from my LHBS to AG and while I think their hop schedule would work I wanted to get y'all's perspective! This is the recipe I have and am wondering what you think of the hop schedule. Changes? Will it work as is? Nut in yo Brown Eye Style: Northern English Brown Ale...

This is a clean, crisp non-spiced American wheat that has a very fresh aroma and is very drinkable. It finishes with the hint of the wheat's spice and makes a good brew for summer. It was meant to be a session wheat, but I overshot my target gravity. Basement Wheat Style: American Wheat or...

So I am brewing a saison with cardamom, Corriander seed, and bitter orange peel. The recipe was originally for a 5gal batch and calls for a tsp of each at 15mins in the boil. I have scaled the grains and hops for a 3.5gal batch and am wondering if the spices are also just scalable?

As a lover of big IIPAs I wanted to create my own rendition that could render a man or woman intoxicated enough after only a few beers to go home with the ugliest person in the room, while still tasting great. Quite a bit of research went into what makes a IIPA be good. Imbue with caution as...

So I am going to be brewing a 3gal Motukea pale ale this weekend and am wondering what people's thoughts were on the Motukea hops? Flavor? Aroma? Pros Cons? Similar to? From what I have heard they are a very clean citrus hop that isn't grapefruit-y. I love the citrus of...

Should I dry hop my planned 4-7days then cold crash for an additional 3-5days or should I include my dry hopping into my cold crash?

I just brewed my 3rd beer and my 1st "big" beer and didn't really think ahead of, "WOOHOO! My first big beer!" I pitched two vials of WLP090 San Diego Super into 3.25gals of wort at an OG of 1.097. What I had originally planned was a 1 week primary and 2 week secondary with the last 7 days of...

So I had this idea for an IIPA that is a globe trekker, using different grains and hops from all over the world. I was hoping to get some feed back about the grain bill and the hop schedule. What do you think of it? Ingenious International Peace Agreement 3gal Style: Imperial IPA OG: 1.090...

So I have been using iBrewmaster for a little while and never noticed this before: If I change my grain bill, my IBUs change. I am using the tinseth formula. From other posts I have read, tinseth is best for BIAB, but my question is if the IBUs are supposed to change if my grain bill changes...

While purchasing much of your equipment is one of the ways to go when building your home brewery, building parts of it can be rewarding. One thing you can design and build for your brewery is an immersion wort chiller, which is an invaluable tool to help you cool the wort to yeast pitching...

I was hoping to make a session beer that is easy to drink and not hard for a non-craft brew drinker to enjoy. I am aiming for an OG of around 1.055 with a balanced malty-ness with a hint of spicy citrus from the hops. With this in mind, i figured a blonde ale would be best. I have not...

Before I haul off and purchase all of this I wanted to get feedback from y'all as to if I am missing any key things or things that aren't necessary. Here is my list to get my 3-5gal BIAB brewery going. Mashing/Lautering: Burner S/S 10.5gal (42qt) Kettle Thermometer Mesh Bag Immersion Wort...

So as I have been pricing and sourcing equipment for my home brewing exploits I came up with this recipe using iBrewMaster. Just hoping to get some feedback from all of you homebrew gods and goddesses! Imperial Warlord Style: Imperial IPA OG: 1.092 Type: All Grain FG: 1.024 Rating: 0.0 ABV...

Aloha from Hawaii! I am just starting in my own homebrewing adventures and still consider myself a novice. I have done about ten, 10gal AG batches with a buddy of mine while I was back in college in Oregon. That being said, I have no equipment yet and am hoping to build up an AG system to...
