Hi sorry I haven't been here for a while and I stopped getting those email reply notification dealys. Heh, I wouldn't know the first thing about using macs, let alone code for one! Sorry no mac version as yet :( As for doing all the inventory stuff, I guess I actually didn't want to put...

Does anyone else (who's unfortunate enough to be bottling still :p ) cut the handle off their bottle brush and stick it in a power drill to clean their bottles? It works a treat and almost makes it bearable.

It just sounds like you have to register the files in the viewport.zip file. The 'SmartSubclass.dll' & 'SmartViewport.ocx' files go in the same folder as a file called 'Regsvr32.exe'. (99% of the time it's the system32 folder, sometimes system on older machines). So if you have doubts where...

Gotcha, that's up there too now. I just had to fix something that happened when you try to reload a brew you'd saved, it put the stuff in the wrong boxes...anyway its fixed now, just gotta d/l it again ;)

Okay I found a place to store it online, and made that other thread just about it. Throw any questions/suggestions my way in that one! https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=517 Cheers :)

Normally homebrew shop guys are pretty cool about all that :cool:

Okay I found a place to stick the program... http://au.geocities.com/roy_boy_55/brewlogger.html The smart viewport files are there too, you'll need those to use the search option. It would be cool to just keep chucking any questions/suggestions in this thread, keep everything tidy :)...

I guess this is classed as brewing equipment....I have some computer programming experience, and wrote a little program to keep track of all my brews, beats keeping a diary! So if you're computer savvy and would like to try it let me know! Otherwise I'd like to know how you go about logging your...

Looks like i'll be the youngest so far, 20 and been brewing since my 18th birthday (what a lovely present that was :D ) Done 17 batches and buying a kegging system as soon as I can afford it!

I guess the best around my parts would be a pub that has this deal - $10 all you can drink in an hour, which includes 4 basic spirit coupons which you can use anytime during the night...your deal sounds much better!

I hate doing it too, its just so dicey! Here in brisbane there was only two shops about 14 months ago, now they've expanded to 5 in the general metropolitan area...I never really thought about it before, but live within walking distance of one of the original stores, very very lucky indeed :D

Oh yeah yep the seals have never been a problem, we've got one of those ritzy bench cappers *thumbs up* I can't imagine using one of those little hammer on things! Yeah I guess it does smell like yeast, and it's not furry or moving or anything!

lol :D yeah it doesn't smell gross or anything....I'm having a bbq tonight, maybe I should just give one to someone I don't like and see what happens ;)

This brew is just over a year old, but it has had this 'stuff' floating on the top and on the sides for just about its whole life, I can't tell whether it's yeast or mould...I've just never had yeast behave like this before? None of my other brews has had it happen. The brew itself is a pale ale...

My local homebrew guru just suggested using 150g of cracked grain steeped in hot water to enhance a beer kit rather than using all grain...but the fresher the better ;) go nuts!
