Well, I will admit, I have a stout cold crashing in a secondary in my garage fridge for a little over a year. airlock still full, and its been in the dark @ 31 degrees for that year. Might be time to carb it up ehh?

did u hit 1.068 with that much grain in a 5 gal cooler? i think not... hope u did of course, but dont think possible. i did nearly same grain bill in a 10 gallon, missed my 1.060 by onme, got 1,059... no honey to mess with it, pure gain. i measure FG tomorrow, 7 days in primary, been dead...

forgot about beersmith, woops! ill put my recipe in and decide weather to use or now... too bad i didnt vacuum seal them... i have one too, no excuse!

About to restart my home brewing, been a long while! Too many other issues, I had to stop for a while. Anyway, my question pertains to my hops, i have a couple pounds of whole hops, 08 growing season. they have been in a dark freezer since I bought them. are they ok to use? How would I...

roflmfao! i like it.

I copied the files (all of em) and pasted into the new install file. worked like a charm

filter wort before boil? joety, this what i do, but i take it a step further and squeeze my hops (only use whole) and get at least a quart and a half of wort out of em and into the fermentor. i have beersmith set up @ .25 gallons lost to trub, as i have to spill a little, although i doubt i...

to avoid this problem, i started putting my wirfloc tab in my 15 min hop addition bowl, this way i cannot forget it unless i forget a hop addition, which is highly unlikely. i have two beers in the fridge for the last two weeks, one got a wirfloc, and one did not. they are both as clear as...

what was the reading temp cprrected? could not have been much different from your reading... sure you had 5.25 gallons post boil? i have never been more than a point over with extract or mini mash recipe. why would you not just added a bit of boiling water instead of boiling the grain? this...

well, my first smash is finally cleared after a couple weeks in the fridge. turns out simcoe is frutier than i gave credit! holy cow this stuff is citrusy! i like citrus, but this is a bit over the top...lol. anyway, a few more months in the bottle, and i bet it will be a bit mellower...

i dont see anything wrong, i would add more bitter in the beggining in order to make that 30 min addition a 10 or 15 min to get some more aroma into it without losing any ibu. whats the target og, and ibu?

well,there are 5 rides... this will be the best! this one drives right now.. then the 06 f150, and the 01 rodeo, AND THE 94 BRONCO... finally, a pic of a wee bit of snow on the bronco and stang..

anyone know how to transfer a file to a new install in order to keep all my old saved recipes? beersmith i am going to install into my new confusor, but i want my old recipes... can i overwrite one of the new install files with an old one? any problem with goin from 32bit os to a 64 bit...

1.065 out of 14.5lbs of grain is a bummer... i used my new 10 gallon MLT, and mashed thin, hit everything pretty much spot on, sparged with 5 gallons, and boiled it down to 5.1 gallons. i hopped for 1.078, and now @ 1.065 my IBU is a bit high for the beer i wanted to make, no? anyway, just...

nah, i would have even posted! see, last i looked @ beersmith was yesterday, and the og estimate was 1.078, thats why i was pissed. after posting my thread, i look back, and it is 1.067! i would have been happy! and to the point of your post, that's exactly why i posted, im pissed to go...

WELL, WHEN I STARTED THE POST, BEERSMITH SAID 1.078!!!!!!!!! now, whyen i look back, it says 1.067. now i sound like a ***** and whatnot. guess i should delete? anyway, why did it go from 1078, to 1067??? wtf? im kinda lost about that. here is my grain bill, can someone with...

Beersmith OG estimate 1.067 my OG= 1.065 ghrrrrrrrrrrr very pissed. hit every temp, ecept mash, 157 vs 154.... added a bit of cooler water, 154 after about 20 mins. held the whole 60 mins. not happy at all. i blame the crush :) LHBS crush is usually better the B3 is, but this time i...

that what i was thinkin about the ccarapils... i went with 1.5lbs, and im gonna mash @ 154. also changed mash from 2.0, to 1.75 ratio since i only have 10 gallons of water, and i want to do two sparges bigger than 1.26 gallons.

lookin for suggestions, tweaks whatever. i cannot get the hops i need to try a torpedo IPA clone, so i made this one up. my last coupla brews are too dry, this one i will try to keep that from happening again. not to mention, my fermentation temps will be lower (my closet has been 59-61* for...

crap. you can measure anything too much, right? so, i measure my possible points, and then my OG into the fermenter for my efficiency... yep, i might miss somethng for mash efficiency and all that. but take into account your thermal losses, barometric pressure, trun losses, obama...
