Hey all I have been trying to figure out how to save multiple iterations (without saving a under a new name) of the same beer in Beer smith2 without success. In the "recipe design" tab of a particular beer there is the "version" box under the date field box, where you can choose 1.2 ...

I recieved my scores a while back now from NW region. I got a 29.5 for my CDA and 33.5 for an ordinary bitter. They weren't the best beers I made this year but I thought that I would enter just for the hell of it. We seem to drink all the better beers before we can get them in a bottle don't...

Wurz Thanks for your feedback. I found your design to be an interesting take on a rims tube. Good to hear that it is working well for you. In regards to the element in your system....your tee is ~4" or so... plus the tri clover 1" fpt ~2"? How far into the tube do you estimate your...

All Thank you for sharing all the experience & R&D information you have invested in this project. I was wondering how the system is working now that you have had some time on it. Any key learnings ? Do you find that the dead spaces at the ends of the tees are causing heating and or...

Has anyone noticed the same build up with the stainless elements? Brew on

Thanks Pardoc for the link to the spice ball.. I will look for that at local asian imports store. The First batch I let age for one month in addition to the 2 weeks to carb. It a was still a good beer that didn't last long. I may have to back off the burton salts that work for more mortal...

I came across some information that came with my aeration stone that spoke of aerating at intial pitch, then the second day then the third .... it didn't seem to jive with what I understood of the deliterious effects from oxidation .. thus thought I would ask.

Bonsoir I am just qurious ... does anyone continue to aerate after initial yeast pitch ? Thanks

I brewed my second batch a couple of weeks ago. Came in with an OG 1.080 with direct fire recirculating mash. Let set on primary for 2 weeks then let go to 2 weeks on first DH addition. I decided to natural carb with DME 3 weeks then add 2nd DH addition at dispensing in hopes of preserving...

For what it is worth..... When i first started adjusting the salts in my water to make a better IPA I used gypsum and the Buffer 5.2. THe 5.2 was to address effiency issues ... I corrected this through better fly sparge and grain crush. I found that the beer had a salty after taste. I mentioned...

great thread..... I am curious what Bridgeport is doing ?? you have to assume that they are treating their water with a mineral cocktail as Widmer does. From my personal experience I found that some of my first all grain IPA's were lacking a hop kick despite plenty of hops in the recipe...

Paradoc, et. all, thank you for all the info on brewing Pliny.... I can't wait to try this recipe as I really love pliny. Question : do you guys have a good source for bulk purchase of Simcoe and Columbus hops? Hopsdirect doesn't seem to sell Simcoe ....though they do sell Columbus whole and...

Greetings I have made an all grain batch of Guinness clone and plan to keg with DME assuming I will get smaller bubbles and hopefully a creamier head. Could anyone suggest an amount of DME for guinness kegging? Is it ever much different if kegging an IPA? Are there any solutions...
