Update: The US-05 still has noticeably more hop aroma and bitterness. The BRY-97 has mellowed a bit. The caramel flavor is a bit more muted. The US-05 is still the winner.

I logged on just to post about my IPA test I did with US-05 vs BRY-97 and I find this. I brewed 10 gallons of American IPA and put into two fermenters. I rehydrated one packet of US-05 and one of BRY-97, each with 150mL of 90F filtered water. I pitched at 75F and kept in a temperature...

I created a project called "BrewScript" which is a web based recipe formulator. It is available at http://www.brewscript.com. It's 100% free, open source and mobile compatible. It's not as comprehensive as BeerSmith and other commercial tools, but it's easy and approachable. I hope you guys...

Hey guys, I created a SourceForge project at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/brewscript/ This will be the place for development and testing before going live. I also enable anonymous forum postings. This will be the place to post bug reports and feature requests. I also registered...

I think BrewScript might be the winner. Since it's coded in Javascript and the Results section pretty much gives you a "script" for your brew day, it fits pretty well. I'll post the sourceforge link once I get the project up.

I'll try to get into sourceforge on Monday/Tuesday. Any suggestions for a witty name? Recursive acronyms are encouraged.

cwi, Thank you for the info. Once I find an equation, I can add the adjusted volume to the "Results" section. BeerSmith compatibility would be nice, but since this is a labor of love, I'm not going to kill myself over it. That's mostly the reason I wrote it in JS and released it under GPL...

You are correct that the app currently does not take thermal expansion into account. If you can provide a formula for calculating the thermal expansion coefficient based on gravity, I could add that in. I will most likely be revisiting the XML import to better account for the exports from...

I added a "View XML" button that will display the XML within a text area. You should be able to "Select All" and copy from there. I'll look into the Android download bug once I get an Android emulator up and running.

I added fields for grain absorption and mash tun loss. However, the BeerXML standard doesn't have fields for these and there isn't really an intuitive way to infer the information. So the only way to save this data between page loads would be to stray from the standard, which may be a slippery...

That's actually the reason I wrote this. I was tired of having to click through several pages just to know what my brew day looks like. It's helped to shorten my brew day my at least an hour. The water amounts came in very close for my system (Northern Brewer all-grain system which uses Igloo...

Bishop, The download all link will download the recipes in beerXML. You can paste these back into the import box and it will load all of them. It's not the most graceful solution, but it's the best I could do without a SQL backend. As for embedding, I released the source under GPLv3. This...

One more thing, this software is made to be compatible with smart phones. I tested on the iPhone and iPad. If you have an Android and want to try it, please let me know how it works.

Hey guys, I felt there was a lack of a good web-based brewing software, so I spent some late nights coding one up. I'd like to get your opinions on it. Here is the link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12911/brew.html It's written in 100% Javascript using AJAX. This is mostly so that it's...

I just brewed two pumpkin ales this past week, except I used butternut squash. It tastes more like pumpkin than pumpkin (sounds strange I know). I cut the squash, removed the seeds and then steamed it. After peeling the skin off, I then hand mashed the squash flesh. Here is the most...

Sign me up!

Very cool idea for a brew. I'll have to try it when I'm done with my Alt. I knew a brewer in Portsmouth Virginia who used only Spalt hops for an IPA. I don't have the recipe, but given the low alpha acid on Spalt, it must have used a ton. Thanks for sharing!
