Moving to smaller place, not brewing as much as I used too, looking to sell the following items via local pickup (in Roswell, Shallowford & Johnson Ferry area). I'm posting them here exclusively to allow HBTers first dibs before listing on spam ridden Craigslist. Message me at...

I just had a few pints of a Geary's Pale Ale clone that I brewed from the book "Clone Brews". It's the second worst beer I've made :(. The recipe had some chocolate malt in it, I thought it was weird on brewday, and sure enough it tastes weird. I just don't think the roasted, slightly bitter...

I made a simple 2.5 liter starter of Wyeast 3944 Belgian Wit yesterday for a Witbier I'll be brewing next weekend. I put the starter in a one gallon jug and it is foaming over like crazy for a starter with that much headspace. My concern is that since this is a top cropping strain, will all the...

New member, long time lurker. I use a Mac so I was never able to use ProMash or any other brewing software. Over the past year or two I've developed and refined this Excel Spreadsheet to do all my brewing calculations and recipe formulations. I thought I'd share it and see what everyone thinks...
