I just brewed my first batch of beer. A Mr. Beer Cranberry Maiback with Wyeast 2421. I hope it went well, but I have it in a cooler with frozen waters. Anyways...

I now found this download and started working with it. However, when I put in a Mr. beer HME the bitterness does not change. Is this correct? I thought the HME would a a little bitterness.

Sorry for the newbie question.

 

[OneFeather]

Never mind. I found the answer. One simply puts the Mr. Beer HME in the hops section and makes the boil time 5 min.

Gals you were able to find the directions, they're pretty easy to follow and qBrew is definitely still one of the easiest recipe calculators out there.

I can't get the update to load. Followed the directions to the letter, but it seems my update is in a different format (PNTG) than the one in the video (unix something or other). I unzipped it just fine. The original file in the folder is labeled as a document. What do I have to do to get this to work? Thanks.

 

[mobilecabinworks]

Nevermind. I got it converted and loaded. What a pain though. Works great now though. Glad to have all the extra infos.

The May 2012 qBrew database update includes all the new Mr. Beer/Coopers extracts and much, much more. It's free and easy to use for MAC and Windows users, download it today and get a sample recipe using the new Mr. Beer/Coopers American Ale extract.

Screwy's May 2012 qBrew Database Update

For the new Mr. Beer/Coopers extracts add them as 1.87 pounds of grain and 1.00 ounce of hops for five minutes to get started. As usual most brewer's agree that 75% utilization is about right for brewing so the actual ABV calculated by qBrew will be lower than the highly optimistic ABV advertized, results may vary since I base my LBK volume on 2.13 gallons as I think most of us do.

 

[ScrewyBrewer]

This month I've added even more items for every level of brewer from first time brewer to the most advanced there's something new for everyone. This month I've included four exciting new recipes and 10 ingredients made available from Mr. Beer/Coopers. The hops additions are many this month too, lots of new hops added and greatly expanded hopping descriptions for them all.
