I have used the lite version of Brewers friend for a while, but it only allows 2 recipes. I'm sure the full app is affordable like beer smith. I ended up making an IPA. Used full grain bill, from original post, 12 gallon mash in keggle, 1 hour. Batch sparge 4 gallons 160 degree f, 70 min boil...

I've decided to go ahead and get the beer smith software and put in what I have to see what kind of styles this grain bill fits. I will update when I decide on a recipe

I've had good results from my immersion copper chiller in the summer time. I built 2 immersion chillers; the first is 40' 5/8 copper coiled to fit inside 15.5 keggle, the other is 25' 1/2" cooper coiled to fit inside of 7.5 gal brew pot. The smaller one is immersed inside of a small cooler...

I see this thread got a lot of positive replys and thought I could possibly revive it with another list of random ingredients I have on hand, but have no idea what to brew. I went into brew shop, with no plan, no recipie in mind, and really just wanted some grain for when id get an...

Just wanted to post a quick update about the lager. After a few months and a ton of advice from fellow brewers at work, the beer turned out amazing and everyone who tried it couldn't believe it was a kit beer not to mention all the headache involved. I've since brewed 8 more kit beers all with...

will do cyclman, thanks for the help

Hey guys, brand new guy here with a lager question. What Happened: Went to brew shop and got a European Bock kit by Brewers Best, brewed it up on Christmas Eve with an OG of 1.062. Christmas day I discovered the valve on bottom of bucket was broken and leaking so I transferred it to sanitized...
