+ 5 gallons Murican Porter = 6,168

3 gallons Ed Haus Pale Ale 5519 + 3 => 5522

Hi All. I'm working on making up my first recipe. I'd like to make an Amber Ale with the IBUs on the lower end of the scale. This is a 2.5 gallon batch. 4.5 LB - 2 Row 0.5 LB - Crystal 60 1 oz - Roasted Barley 0.5 oz - Cascade - 60 min 0.25 oz - Cascade - 10 min 0.25 oz -...

Beer recipes scale so if you have a 5 gallon batch in mind just divide it out.

I saw that earlier today on twitter. It's a cool easter egg eh!?

Good thing I'm not the only one :P I have folders all setup in iPhoto to keep track. It's fun to look back at some of my brew days when i was just starting out.
