Threw this together yesterday as my first stout. Currently bubbling away. I'll try to tell you how she ends up!

Yeahhh buddddy!

I did crunch the numbers into the program, I've used it for a few brews already. I don't wish to fill this thread with an off-topic so we probably shouldn't carry on with finding an answer here, but take a look for yourself. EDIT: Nevermind, switched around some of my equipment profile settings...

When I input the recipe into Beersmith it calculated the total IBU around 40, with the ounce of Magnum at 14.4% for 60min only doing 33.5 IBU (quite far off from your 54.9 IBU calculation). Any idea why this is so? EDIT: I did plug it into an online IBU calculator and got what you calculated...

Are there any verdicts on this clone?

21802.5 + 4 = 21806.5

Hacker-Pschorr's beers are pretty much all swing tops.. if you plan on making the trip to Munich any time soon (I'm fairly certain the imports are not swing tops). I found them so freaking convenient when I was there.

I think you should be fine. I dont think hops really start doing their thing (that will cause too much of a noticeable difference) until the rolling boil anyways.

What Petey said... If you must, I wouldn't recommend capping them.

Used this recipe for my first all-grain last night. I believe it went pretty well considering I overshot my pre-boil & post-boil volume, 8 gallons and 6 gallons. But I did measure an OG of 1.058, which, if Beersmith is correct, is 75% efficiency I believe? The ABV's will be a little on the low...

I think you need a subscription to view the page. Sounded cool from the title though!

I'd do it if I were back up in Troy and not in Cinci, but four would definitely be overkill for me.

Is there a difference between Pectolase and Pectic Enzyme?

Phew! Good news. Thanks guys

The Flash may have exaggerated the yellow, so here is another pic.

This is my first time brewing hard cider. It's only the third day into fermentation and one of my batches has taken on this mysterious yellow tint. It is also very cloudy. Is this a bad sign? Contamination perhaps? or it still fine? I've noticed that there is a lot more sediment in my other...

I am new to brewing and am hoping to get some gear for a couple gallons of Cider at the LHBS after work. I've sifted through the Cider thread here in the forums, and it so hard to decide where I want to start. Since it's my first time I'm looking to make something pretty basic, without the use...
