How often do you "borrow" someone's recipe from beer smith?

With so many good recipes here (as well as at the AHA web site, in books, at craft brewer web sites, and at yeast / malt provider web sites), I doubt I'll look for recipes that are made available as part of BeerSmith.

The problem with other people's recipes in your brew software is you don't often have feedback. For all you know, it could have been a thrown together experiment that didn't turn out well....I've found that most brewers don't tend to go back and add tasting notes on those recipes, so you don't even know if they liked it.

that was one of my thoughts when I'm looking. They tend to never say....this recipe sucked lol

Good for getting ideas on recipes and process, but do your research and don't take their recipes as gospel. I was working on a very specific pilsner once using someone elses recipe and procedures that called for a 60 minute boil against my better judgement. So I gave it a try. DMS bomb, a real dumper! Pils malt needs a minimum 90 minutes. Never again!

This works for me with 60 min lagers: How to Stop Worrying & Lager
