Hey everyone, I've just completed a number of changes to my homebrewing application for android: * Ability to use Metric units * Made Strike Water calculator more accurate. * added tsp and tbls to the misc units * added use of Slurry for yeast. I'm looking for some homebrewers that use...

Hey everyone, I'm the developer of the homebrew app Wort for Android. Currently my app is mostly for all grain brewers. I haven't done extract brewing in a while, so I'm hoping that some of you could let me know what would be helpful for an app to do to help you with your brewing. I'm doing...

I've been working on a homebrew application for android (Just tablet screens for now). so far you have the ability to create and view recipes. It will do all of the mash calculations for you, and you can compare to the style guidelines. I was hoping to get a few people from the forum to help...

Just saw that if you buy a $100 gift certificate you get a free recipe. Seems like a great deal, and figured I would share. Forgive me if it's already been posted.

I've mostly stuck to tried and true recipes, but what I went to do for my next beer, is use the brewing classic styles red ale grain bill , with the Hop schedule of the pale ale with caramel, from the same book. The og for both recipes is very similar, so I'm hoping it will turn out well...

I'm curious as to the general process everyone uses for mash/batch sparge. Does everyone usually calculate the mash by using X qt/lb of water, then let that sit for 60 minutes. Drain that into kettle. Then sparge with the amount of water you need to bring you up to your needed preboil volume...

Hey everyone, I'm working on an android app for homebrewing. I want this app to do everything that a homebrewer needs. Being that everyone brews a little differently and has different needs, I would like to get some help from my friends at HBT. Please, go to http://www.dynamicdesigns.info I...

Ok, so I was pleased with my entry to the NHC, and would like to start entering more competitions throughout the year to help hone in my skills. So i'm looking at the NHC site that has a list of competitions, and a lot of them seem to be state fairs, where you have to bring the beer with you...

Did better this year (second time) with my ESB, my high score of 21 last year is a 32 this year. I havent gotten to read it yet, I had my wife tell me some stuff over the phone, but one thing that i got from both judges is that it "lacked complexity" I basically brewed the ESB from Brewing...

I've been doing 5-10 gallon all grain batches, in a few weeks i'm going to be doing 2 2.5 gallon all grain batches. Its been a while since i've done partial mashes. I have a 5 gallon pot, going to be using about 6lbs of grain, and about 7 quarts of water in the mash, first... is there a...

Going to brew the american barley wine from being classic styles in june. I'm wondering about the yeast, should I brew something that uses wlp001 and use that cake, our just use dry yeast? I will probably enter this in some competitions, and I want to make the beer closest to style. Thanks

I brewed a pale ale, og 1.052 got an fg of 1.008 after 2 weeks in the fermenter, seems a bit dry, hoping some aging and carb will pick it up a bit. I was supposed to mash at 154, mashed at 152 instead, so I guess ghats why I didn't get a 1.012. Also did a saison, it finished at 1.004 from 1.060...

Had to add 1 lb of cane sugar to my Saison. not sure WTF is up with my hydrometer, but it read 1.060, but i got 1.052 from my refractometer, thought i did everything right, so i was like hmmm.... It really doesnt matter when i add it during fermentation does it? should i add it RIGHT NOW! or is...

Would you bottle or keg it?

Brewed a pale ale yesterday, when i was done i took a gravity sample. my hydrometer read 1.060, which was a bit high because it was supposed to be a 1.052 beer (although at 75% efficiency it was supposed to be 1.057). my hydrometer is a bit off, when at 70F, it measures two lines above the...

Just ordered one. Already have a single stage, going to get this in time to be my saison. Will be really nice to have complete control over the temp in my fermentation chamber. Just psyched, and wanted to share.

I'm just curious what you guys are using as your boil off percentage, if your using a keggle, or i guess any 15 gallon brew pot should be similar. the default in beersmith is 9%, which for me is a bit low, i tried 12, and i think that's too high. I'm going to try 11 this time, unless i get...

Got my starter going for this one right now. Even added some O2 this time. Anyone ever be this one? I'm sure its good, just wondering if anyone has any opinions.

i've seen some pics of keggle that has the copper pipe from the wort chiller built right into the kettle. Seems like an awesome idea. does it work as well as regular chiller? Worth doing?

The ESB I brewed for NHC has a spicy character. Otherwise, its pretty good. Do you think I'll take a huge hit for this? for this beer, I chilled the wort down to 63 and added my yeast starter. Do you think that the temp difference caused yeast distress? I wasn't to prevent this next year. Thanks
