Best way to put apple in beer? And...go!

Thank you for your suggestion. I really like your idea about gallons brewed. It shouldn't be that hard to add and would really give you an idea of the value of the recipe, especially with a user rating average as well. Would people prefer a 1-10 or 1-5 stars or even something more along the...

Awesome. I will make sure that each beer keeps a user averaged rating field. Likely will be on a scale of 1-10.

FileMaker is cross platform. Works on both Mac and PC but that will not matter to the end user. If I design it well you will never know you are using FM. It will be just like visiting a well made website. 

I'm sure a quick visit to FileMaker.com and a little poking around would clear up your skepticism quickly. ;) and I appreciate the luck! I'm sure I'll need it.

FileMaker Server Advanced definitely could. Has both instant as well as custom web publishing. Macy.com is run entirely off FIleMaker.

Would love to see it. What program did you build it in?

Hey I always love a good troll. Actually I think the biggest problem with majority of "responses" I get to my questions is that they never answer the question but instead say "why not do this instead?" Now I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel here and perhaps I will institute a BeerXML export...

That is much closer. Mine will be done through FileMaker though instead of SQL. It probably will use PHP. What will mine do that that one doesn't? iOS You will be able to access this through FileMaker Go when I'm done, meaning that you will have access on you iPhone/iPad. Anyone got an...

Nope. Much easier to search than that. You will be able to search by hops used if you want. Show me where you can do that here?

Ok. Maybe I'm not being clear about my solution. This will be hosted over the web. This will eventually hold more recipes than even beersmith. You will be able to access them anywhere you have the Internet through a webpage. You will be able to search for whatever recipe you want, filtering as...

BeerXML looks to be a noble project but I don't think that's the direction my database is headed at least for now. For example I don't think the typical end user or brewer is concerned (at least not enough to measure) about the PH level of their water. I want this to be complex enough for the...

Hey everyone! I have been working on a FileMaker recipe database solution. I would like community input as I intend to host it over the web and give the community access to add as many records as they want. So, what do you all look for in a recipe? For example how many hops would you like to...

Have you considered that you pitched your yeast and fermented at too high a temp?

Why shouldn't you aerate hot wort? I always transfer my wort via pouring to my primary while hot. Never seemed to cause any problems. Not saying your wrong just wondering the logic behind your statement?

I always end up with much less water than I started with so I always boil extra water to top off when I'm finished to 5 gallons. And I agree KY Ale and KY Bourbon Barrel are both fantastic local choices. I've thought about getting a little bourbon barrel myself to experiment with aging my brews...

Yep. You got it. I have an Imperial Stout that's about 9% and I love it. I would leave it if you like that type of beer.

Actually. I realized what you were saying. U finished your boil at 4 gallons instead of 5 which raised your OG and FG. Well you have a choice: add water or drink it the way it is. I would say taste it and if you like it leave it. If you think it will benefit from being watered down then top of...

As long as the hydrometer floats it shouldn't matter if you have 4 gallons or 5...what temperature did you mash at?
