    What are you drinking now?

    We get the bomber for $4.50 down here in North Mexico. Wow, I guess I don't understand the quote thing on this forum!

    What are you drinking now?

    Then later I had a couple of these. Much grainier and bitter than a typical red ale. One of my favorites now.

    What are you drinking now?

    I had an Imperial Stout while cooking breakfast on new year's day.

    Old guy returns to brewing?

    After evaluating all the suggestions I have narrowed it down to Brewer's Friend and Brewfather. I am leaning toward Brewer's Friend. It seems more intuitive to me.

    Partial mash brewing software

    I'm sorry I sure your spreadsheet is great but it is way over the top for what I'm trying to do. Thanks.

    Why I do secondary fermentation

    "taking brewing too seriously has a tendency to lessen the fun factor." This. I don't secondary because I'm lazy. I have 2 14 gallon plastic fermenters. There is about 1.5" of space under my bottling valve, the beer is clear enough without racking to a secondary. On the other hand, now that I...

    Partial mash brewing software

    It is really not essential. I am going all DME and Yellow Dog was LME. It might have been the house brand from The Home Brewery in Ozark, Mo.

    I guess Yellow Dog is the only extract I can't find.

    How long an Extract Brewer?

    I started brewing around 1990, we made our own recipes and I think one batch was less than stellar in the first couple of years. I changed jobs didn't brew for several years. Dipped my toe back in, stopped brewing for a while. Then in 2003 met my first and only wife and with a settled lifestyle...

    Partial mash brewing software

    I have "North American Clone Brews" Year 2000, "Zymurgy" Vol 14 No.4 Special 1991 with Traditional Beer Styles, and all the recipes for the National Homebrew Winners for that year. Plus my Bock brewing book for my Maibock and Dobblebock beers. If I can get the beers I like into a software...

    Partial mash brewing software

    I am brewing kits, I want to buy bulk extract so I can save some money over kits. A 50 LBs bag of Breiss pale DME is $145. I can buy hop pellets in bulk too. Being retired I have more time than money.

    Partial mash brewing software

    I do porters, browns, pale ales. I like a robust grain taste and feel, not bitter just enough to balance the sweetness. I will have to pull out my recipes to give you names. My recipes are on random pieces of paper stuffed in a clone brew book. That is why I need some software!

    Partial mash brewing software

    Thank you I am looking at your suggestions right now. I returned to extract brewing because I am more interested in the beer than the process. If I get in the weeds on the process it can lock me up. I make damn good beer (in my not so humble opinion) and want to document and convert some of my...

    Partial mash brewing software

    I have been searching but can not find what I am looking for. I brew extract, partial mash to be exact. I would like software or a spreadsheet that is written for partial mash brewing. The other options out are probably great but I am having trouble getting the setup right. It seems that all are...

    EZboil Makes My Lights Flicker

    I couldn't get him to take a thing. He was a really great guy.

    Old guy returns to brewing?

    I modified the mash but I can't find "and then change the "Amount" column to how much water you are adding." I am using 2.3.1 on Linux Mint.

    EZboil Makes My Lights Flicker

    It is the first time I've used it. Fingers crossed. The local utility guy came and cut the transmission lines off my connection and let me install the meter socket even tho I'm not licensed. He came back and inspected it, and wired me back up. Saved me a couple of thousand dollars in electrician...

    Sounds like you right on track. Let us know how it turns out.

    Simcoe/Citra IPA Advice

    "For hops to add bitterness they need to be boiled. The typical IPA would want those Simcoe hops boiled for the full hour. Even at that using just one ounce of Simcoe won't get you a very bitter IPA so you might need to add some of the Citra near the end of the boil to boost that." This. 1 ounce...
