I need a substitute for .25lb of Dark Chrystal 135-165L for King Brians ESB. I have plenty of 10L and 60L. Can I, for instance, double the amount of 60L and add some 10L? It's obvious that I am fairly new at this. My LHBS doesn't carry and checking with catalogs from NB and BW they don't...

I have a recipe that I want to make. It calls for .5oz of hops with a 5% Alpha rating. The hops that I have are 3.8% Alphas. Can someone tell me how to make the conversion to add the proper amount of hops? I'm thinking dividing 3.8 by five and multiplying qty until I hit 5%, am I correct? Thanks

I misread the recipe on my last brew, an ESB. I added one tsp of irish moss at 10 min instead of 1/4 tsp. What can I expect from this mistake? Thanks

Can anyone give me the how to do and what to expect? Thanks

I just bottled Bee Cave Haus Pale Ale that I brewed on 7-4. Left in primary, no secondary. I used Safeale-05 yeast. I fermented in the basement at 64 degs. The SG was 1.050. The FG today was 1.001. I have never had the FG go so low. I tested my hydrometer and it is right on. Is it unusual to...

Can someone explain bitterness ratio in simple terms? In doing a recipe, an ESB, Beersmith shows a bitterness ratio of .772%. I found my answer but I don't know how to delete this ?.

I brewed Bee Cave Robust Porter on 6/9. The only change I made was to use Marris Otter instead of 2-row. My SG was 1.072 (estimated was 1.069) my FG today is 1.020(estimate is 1.018) same as when I measured two weeks ago. I fermented at a steady 64deg. Yeast was SO4. My FGs are usualy aroung...

I am a Brewsmith noob with a few questions. Sorry if this is long. I have put some recipes in, then brewed them. I have gone back an entered my OG. I assume that all information that I enter stays with that recipe. So if I brew that recipe again and add my OG again that changes the original...

I made a mistake when coping down a recipe. I copied Victory Malt instead of Vienna. So, does anyone have a good recipe using Victory malt. I have four lbs. I don't expect to use it in one batch but I am looking for some suggestions. Beersmith says it is used in nut brown ales and porters. I...

What does a 90min boil do that a 60min doesn't? I see some recipes that look to be almost identical in the grain bill but one calls for a 90min boil and one calls for a 60min boil. Both end up with 5.5 gals of wort.

I have an item in inventory that I want to remove. I bring up the inventory and off the tool bar I select Actions. Remove from inventory is there but it is greyed out. How do I remove this item. Thanks

Two weeks ago I brewed Bee Cave Robust Porter from the recipe section here. SG was 1.072, checked it today and it was 1.028. Tasted sweet. It has been at 64degs for the whole 2 weeks. I used SO4 for the yeast. The only thing I changed was to use Marris Otter instead of 2-row. Haven't had this...

I got a 50% off coupon from Michaels with the newspaper, that brings the price to $12 and change. Seeing as how the nearest LHBS is 35miles oneway it's worth a shot. Does anyone who has done this have any advice before I start.

Is there a page that has all the formulas that brewers use?

Does anyone know if there is a tutorial for brewsmith? I am trying to setup and don't seem to be "getting it". I have put a couple recipes in and am getting some strange results.

My first beer has been bottled four weeks now. When drinking you get kind of a bandaid backtaste. Not real strong but noticable. I searched and found that it is from chlorine. I am on well water and used only starsan. I did delable my bottles with an oxyclean soak but rinsed very well. I did...

Just started AG brewing. I am 40 miles oneway from the nearest LHBS. My question is how long will milled grains stay fresh? Can they be frozen to prolong their freshness. I don't have a mill and would like to buy three or four recipes at a time. Thanks

I did my first all grain brew today. Bee Cave Haus Pale Ale. Everything went pretty well. I used 1/2 gal of hot water to get my first strike water back up to temp and then forgot to subtract it from my second water so I ended up with 7gal instead of 6 1/2. My OG was right on target at 1.051. I...

Getting ready for my first AG this weekend. I bought the supplies at a LHBS. The recipe calls for Cascade 6.6%, 2oz total, the only ones available were Cascade 6.0%. Will this be a problem? Thanks
