    Copy Beersmith2 data from mobile to mobile?

    I have a Galaxy S5 with a bunch of recipes and I want to copy those to my new S7 Edge. Is there an easy way to do that? I figure the recipes are somewhere in the Android file system - is it as easy as copying the files from one phone to the other?

    Fullers ESB

    How did it turn out? From my studies, the malt bill is a bit simpler than yours: Pretty much Optic and Crystal with possibly some chocolate thrown in for color only. Is the wheat for head retention? For hops the website calls that they use Challenger, Goldings, Northdown, Target. I truly...

    New Keezer w/ Bar Build, Hardwood, 4 tap, with wine and liquor storage

    Sorry for resurrecting the thread, but I like the design and would like to know when you swap in the kegs how easily done is it with the coffin on top? If this is flush against a wall do you simply pull it away from the wall and lift the lid? Also, did you use the stock hinges from the freezer...

    Kombucha not souring (much)

    I have only been brewing booch a few months, but I quickly found that heat would make the booch carbonate faster, but it seemed to sour quicker. Not a bad thing if you like it more sour/acidic. I do a batch about once a week, and the first couple of bottles will have some sweetness, but after 4...

    Kombucha not souring (much)

    Use a heat mat. it will make it get vinegary really quick though if you are not careful. I use daughter scobys and about 1-2 cups of starter per gallon. I then put the jar in my cooler with a heat wrap for about a day, then switch it off and wait about 2-4 more for it to balance out. I still get...

    What are your contrarian/"unpopular" beer opinions?

    I think pilsners are generic beers - I have had quite a few and not a one ever impressed me. That and brown ales are my least favorite styles. Both leave a lot of be desired IMO. How is that for contrarian? ;) Oh, and I never had a DogFishHead beer that lived up to the hype. I find their...

    Off flavor everytime

    Perhaps others will disagree with me, but in my experience the quickest way to off-flavors is to use crappy water (soft water with chlorine for example) to start with, or to pitch the yeast way too hot. Both have been the culprit for the majority of my lackluster brews. The other variable is...

    Which Burner Would You Get?

    Add my vote to his. Every bit as efficient as the Edelmetal one. Looks like same banjo burner in both.
