If you have beer smith, go into the "recipe view". On the fourth line from the top, next to the "Help" button, there is a button labeled "Brewhouse Efficiency". Click it and it will bring up the screen for figuring it out.

Elm City Brewpub in Keene, NH, did a wicked good Kolsch. It is still my absolute favorite summer beer. If Oberon tastes right this year (last year it sucked), Oberon is a good substitute.

One should always verify the data before publishing the results. I transferred what had been left in my boil kettle to a homer bucket to measure how much was left, and then decided to let it settle and then see how much wort was really left. 45 minutes later, there is maybe 1/2" of wort...

Okay. Just brewed the first time with the hop blocker. I will admit, I wasn't very nice to it either -- 7 ounces of pellets into a 5g batch. Before I state the conclusion, allow me to make some observations. First, reshaping the coils for my IC wasn't that hard. The coils are no longer...

Out of pure curiosity, why the 0.33 oz of columbus at 60 min? That doesn't seem like it would add much bitter over a 15g batch. And why the 4 lbs of 2-row? Why not all MO? It looks good, I intend on brewing it but I am still curious.

Oh. That worked a little different than I had imagined. Thanks for the "action" shots. Mine is ordered, but it would seem there is a waiting list or something already. I am also very curious of how I will get this working with an IC. I don't think extending the dip tube is the right...

5g of Cap'n Hook (and round off) 5224+5 = 5229

3696 +5 Captn Hook = 3701

Oh good lrd. Small piece of advice. Don't. Just don't even try. Get yourself to a UPS store or a Kinkos or something and ship the ingredients to yourself. They are on "high alert" at the airports right now and anything out of the ordinary will likely get you selected for the extra-special...

I have been told by others that you need to check it at mash in. If you need to adjust the pH of your mash, it is a bit late to do it when sparging.

Beersmith can adjust for the boiling point of water. It is in the top most panel of the mash profile window.

+5 Dude's Pub Ale (and rounding up for the 0.5, because I rounded down last time) 23524 + 5 = 23529

Seriously? 0.5? Nope. Rounding it off. Sorry. 5g of Two-hearted clone into the fermenter. 23058 + 5 = 23063

I also find the 113-167 (http://www.thermoworks.com/products/probe/tc_penetration.html) to be useful. The wire probes can take a long time to reach a stable reading. The metal ones settle down much faster. The wire probes are great for leaving in place (mash tuns, erlynmeyer flasks for...

Top up to how many liters?

+5g of esb 26,307

Another 5g of APA into the fermenter. 26021 + 5 = 26026

Give them to small children as play things. I find very small children in cribs in particular find them the be great toys.

Thermoworks really backs up their warranty as well. I had an older model Thermapen go bad on me. Thermoworks was very nice about it, offered me a few different repair/replacement options and was just easy to work with. I have since received and brewed with the MTC and strongly recommend it to...

5g of BierMuncher's Captain Hooked on Bitters. 24,435+5 = 24,440
