    Apologies to Revvy

    *shudder* I grew up in NC and now live in NJ. I get a mixed bag of pronunciation wherever I am.

    Apologies to Revvy

    I generally leave the beer in primary for 5 or 6 weeks; sometimes longer if I'm busy with other hobby projects. The beer ends up clear and very clean tasting, even if I miss the target temps (too high). Your name is Forrest? Me too!!! :rockin:

    Go big or go home? well, I'm a "home"brewer...

    I don't see homebrewing trends as necessarily being directly tied to what craft brewers are or are not making. I mean, everybody still brews American IPAs at home, even though there are hundreds of craft examples of the style. It's the longest trend ever in homebrewing, most likely. I...

    Go big or go home? well, I'm a "home"brewer...

    Big vs small is really a trend thing. For a long time, it was cool to brew a big-ass raging beer. Now it's more trendy to go for a session beer (the last couple years especially, even in the craft brew arena). That's just how things go over time. Pretty soon, we'll all be talking about how cool...

    ingredients on hand

    That exact feature is available Beer Alchemy (for Mac only). I'm not aware of it being available in any other applications at the moment.

    BrewTarget 1.2.2 - Is there a brew day summary screen? (not the mode)

    Thanks for the tip, Mikfire. I'm not sure I'm up to compiling just now. I haven't done any code mangling in a few years, and it was all simple stuff in xCode.

    BrewTarget 1.2.2 - Is there a brew day summary screen? (not the mode)

    Ok, *besides* the Brew Day Mode window that shows each step as a list item (and you can only see the details of one step at a time).... Is there a way within BrewTarget 1.2.2 to show a summary of the recipe, including the hop schedule and mash schedule? I know I can export the text to the...

    What users want from brewing software

    Totally. An inventory system is somewhat pointless if you have to manually keep track of it. Software is suppose to do things automatically. Otherwise a pen and pad does just as well.

    Beer Alchemy: Why does "rest" have to be first in the mash schedule?

    Just got the answer from the developer. Apparently, I was looking in the wrong part of the instructions. The strike water info is listed in the "Preparation" section of the instruction sheet, instead of in the "Mashing" section. That's what threw me off. I really think it ought to be...

    Beer Alchemy: Why does "rest" have to be first in the mash schedule?

    I'm now emailing back and forth with the developer. I think we're still not understanding each other, but I feel like we'll get there eventually. Here's an example of what I'm talking about. I set up an IPA recipe with 12 pounds of grist, using a cooler mash tun. I chose one of the simple...

    Beer Alchemy: Why does "rest" have to be first in the mash schedule?

    I couldn't even see a place to set the ratio, other than as part of the strike water calculator, which as I mentioned earlier does not integrate into the recipe or batch info. If you could clue me in where to set this in the batch editor, that would be super. I sent an email about an hour ago...

    Beer Alchemy: Why does "rest" have to be first in the mash schedule?

    Okay, I just started using Beer Alchemy. I've used several other brewing apps in the past, but I really dig the native OS X look/feel of this one. I like just about everything it does, except I can't get my head around the Mash Editor process. It seems that neither the recipe editor nor...
