Forgot to attach a pic. Here is it - brewed on 1/2, kegged on 1/12, submitted entry on 1/19, this pic is from today when I had a pour from the keg to celebrate =)

Hey @Braufessor - I just wanted to finally post and say thank you for sharing your knowledge and recipes. I just got my first competition medal (3rd place!) at Boston's Boss Hop IPA competition in the New England IPA category using a variation of your recipe. It was by far the most popular...

Thanks for the thoughts! I'll add some campden. I attached the new plan, which brings the sulfate:chloride ratio down to a more sane 3:1, and uses lactic acid to reduce mash pH to 5.3.

Hello! I have a Grainfather on the way, so I figured I should step up my all-grain methods so I get the most out of my new system. I live in the Boston area, and our water is 100% from the MWRA system, which is mostly a blank slate. I have attached the most recent (monthly!!!) water...

Thanks for the offer! I just got a new job so I'll be spending the next month packing / moving / unpacking. However, I fully intend to get back to work in July and have something to beta test in August!

My goal is to make something as powerful as BrewPal, if not better. I'm hoping for an initial release in a few months. Thanks everyone for your replies! Keep motivating me to get to work on it :D

Thanks for the heads up! I'll have to check them out when I'm ready to begin. Looks like this forum is already starting to pay off for me!

Lucky! I'm pretty sure the closest homebrewing store to me is about an hour away, and it doesn't seem to be a popular one, so I'd worry about ingredients not being as fresh as a more busy store might carry.

Hello all! I've been interested (i.e. drinking) microbrews for a while now, and I've more recently gotten interested in doing some home brewing, beginning with the simple 5 gallon extract method. I'm currently reading Palmer's "How to Brew," and there's some great stuff in there. I'm hoping...
