    BYO vs. Beersmith IBUs

    I know there are other threads on this but since they are a few years old, I wanted to start a new one to make sure this one didn't get buried. I noticed a huge discrepancy in BeerSmith calculations as opposed to other sources such as BYO. After fiddling with my BeerSmith options a bit, I...

    Randy Mosher's Radical Brewing and IBUs

    I have been using BeerSmith to add recipes from Randy Mosher's book, "Radical Brewing". My question is related to hop amounts and IBUs. He mentions that all recipes assume whole hops and if using pellet hops, there will be 25% higher utilization. Therefore, I am taking his hop amounts and...

    Using Chrome parts in boil/mash

    15 gallon boil kettle too much surface area for small batches?

    Can't Tell if Fermwrap is working

    I just bought a new Fermwrap heater with a Johnson Controller. Last night my carboy dropped to 60 degrees from a 70 degree setpoint. The Controller appears to be calling for heater to be on but to take that out of the equation, I plugged the Fermwrap directly into outlet and it still feels...
