I do no sparge, overnight mash and no chill. I have 2 kids and I like to play golf. 6 hour brew days don't work for me.

OK. Is there more science to a recipe calculator than the ppg of grain and an ibu calculator? I'm struggling to find a reason to go back to brewsmith, but I have yet to try version 2.

What are you going to try next?

I still can't figure that out either. Especially considering a lot of BIABers crush their grain very fine. This flavor prompted me to adjust my water profile and lengthen my boil time as well, so my solution could've been a combination of all. Hope you figure it out soon. If all else fails...

Was he supposed to have a chat with the ref and ask him to reverse the goal? Didn't seem intentional.

been brewing a year now and this site has helped me relax, not worry, and drink many homebrews. cheers

The all-star game was a fun to watch and good to see almost sell-out crowd - but whats with going straight to pk's? and I might enjoy the return of east v west format rather than mls 11 v second tier euro squad. August 12 qualifier will hopefully go much better than the gold cup final...
