Provided the expense is manageable, I'd be interested in enough for a 5 gallon batch. Thanks!

You can also use a darker malt extract if you didn't mind ordering it. http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/northern-brewer-dark-malt-syrup.html

So far I like the app and am looking forward to the full version. One thing I'd like to see is for the numbers keyboard to automatically come up when I'm using the tools. Right now mine comes up with the normal letters keyboard and I have to keep switching to the numbers.

Yep - looks like I might have even harvested a bit too much. It's coming in around 180mL. I'll leave a little bit behind and that should do it. Thanks for all the help.

We'll see how this goes...

Brewing tonight. :)

Racked the prior beer to secondary and going to cold crash it. This is a kolsch yeast, and I fermented the last beer around 60F. So for my beer, should I try to drain off that liquid part in the middle and just shake up what's left and pitch the amount Mr. Malty says?
