I just finished brewing a porter and was surprised by how low my original gravity was. I used to order precrushed grains from morebeer and never really checked my efficiency. Lately I've been getting grains from my LHBS and have noticed that I'm missing targets on the beers I've been...

I never bought the original Complete Joy of Homebrewing but noticed a new 4th edition has just come out. I was thinking about buying the kindle version for my iPad but I'm not sure if I need it after 3 years of homebrewing. What do you guys think? Anyone plan on buying it? Sent from my...
