Beersmith does good with the mineral additions. Lactic acid, he advises too high.

I entered into MME, Bru'n Water and Beersmith. All were really close before the acid addition. (Beersmith is notoriously high and I know not to use their acid recommendations) MME has 4.11 lactic, Bru'n Water has 5.1 and Beersmith 6.6. I'll use your acid recommendation and see how it works...

I recently switched to a 30 minute boil. I just double my bittering hops and everything has worked out well

I use 6.6 lbs in a five gallon batch. This year I will puree it and add to the fermenter after about 4 days.

Here is a thread from the Beersmith forum. http://www.beersmith.com/forum/index.php/topic,18720.msg68995.html where Brad explains his method.

I use the Milwaukee MW102

That's been my experience as well.

You can view and edit your cloud recipes in the desktop. I don't think there is a way to make one update and have it update in different folders.

You right click and copy to cloud. Same with searching. Put in the search criteria, find a recipe and copy to a folder.

I was a beta tester and the UI is greatly improved. I also liked the easy interaction with the cloud.

When you calibrated, did it take forever also? I'm wondering if there might be an issue with the probe.

I've used them in whirlpool and dry hop. Like was mentioned, they are twice as strong, so plan accordingly.

Congrats on your new entertainment center :)

I make a strawberry cream ale. I add the strawberry puree at about day 4 of fermentation. I may try lactose this year, have used malto dextrine in the past for the mouth feel.

Look forward to seeing how this turns out.

I've used both and they work well. People will freak out that you get non fragrance Oxyclean, but I've never seen any issues with the fragrant kind.
