Sadly no... I live in a studio and thats about as cool and away from the sun as I can get it. I could turn on the A/C but my bill would be monstrous... (I already cringe to think what it will show for the past Saturday in terms of water/electric usage) I'm trying to hold out until those 90F +...

I did not measure the volume exactly but I'm going to guess in the range of 2.5 gallons (assuming some of it boiled off and I started with just under 3 gallons at the beginning of the boil?) I know those volume measurements are useful for improving the accuracy of my equipment profile but how...

OK so I bit the bullet and brewed this past Saturday. Seemed to go quite well all considered. A few notes. I had to go buy a 12 quart stock pot as I realized my 5 gallon boil pot was not going to fit in the oven and the other smaller stockpots were too small to hold all mash - good thing the...

Where does one go to update BeerSmith tables? I have Briess Malts add-on, hops update 2016, simpsons and weyermann malts. It says I have the latest version when I click check for updates on the help menu 1min seems the latest that I can add anything to the boil in BS2 so I could just set my...

Thanks again both of you for the prompt replies and very thorough help you are providing. As brew day approaches it has given me much confidence :D So I added the extra 12 oz of base malt and dropped the LME back to 3.3 pounds (1 jug). I've uploaded a PDF of my brew steps as they come out in...

OK so here is the updated recipe in BS Extract version -- would this now be considered a "Partial Mash"? I noticed when I took off the 0.9# LME as you suggested @IslandLizard my estimated OG went down to 1.054 (but if I call it a partial mash it goes up to 1.062...) 1 lbs DME Wheat Bavarian...

So I ran a little experiment on my oven. Stuck my chef alarm probe in there to measure the air in centre of the oven. Followed your advice @IslandLizard about turning it off and waiting for it to drop to 150F. However I found it only stayed around there for a minute or two before dropping to the...

Thanks again @IslandLizard. I'll see about giving your technique a try. Just to be totally clear when you outline the steps is the 45-60 min steep at 150F to be done on the stove top or in the pre-heated oven? I'm thinking the latter because I don't think this is a 2 hour process right? Last...

Thanks so much for the very speedy feedback!!! I think I will be coming back to this forum in future :) I figure I'll set my LME down to 4.75 pounds to account for the barley in the wheat DME. Also I took your advice @IslandLizard and with this amount my Est. original gravity for the all grain...

Hi all - I saw that there were a few other posts on the concept of going from all grain >>> extract but was hoping to understand that process a bit more so forgive me if I dive into the details here with this being my first post :D I original submitted this post on BeerSmith's forums but sadly...
