    iBrewmaster vs. Beersmith2

    Beersmith2 is a Windows app, plain and simple. It's directly ported to Mac but looks and runs like Windows. This alone made me shy away from it, despite it's power. I have not used iBrewmaster, and I've found that BeerAlchemy is the most "macish" of them all and does most of what I want it to...

    Help Wiring 240V Heating Element

    In my experience a 2000W element will barely boil 5.5 gal. I start with 6.5 then drain off 1.5 and boil it on the stovetop. I'll add this back in the last 10 min or so of the boil...

But other options would be there, especially for special occasions. Some kind of bitter, porter...

    Accelerated Fermentation Schedule (In time for Christmas??)

    Just brew a smaller beer like a bitter or mild. These would be easily ready by Christmas. See the most recent issue of Zymurgy.

    2.5 Tier Brew Stand - Design Questions

    I have a similar setup that I really like. I have a burner under the mash tun and HLT doubles as electric HERMS. I'm glad I have the extra clearances though, because the HLT gets hot if either of the other burners are on...

    Brutus 20

    I start with my pre-boil target based on known boil loss. Add 15% of the weight of your grain in pounds as the number of gallons lost for absorption/misc loss. Then divide the total up between mash and "sparge" based on desired mash thickness. For instance: Preboil volume: 11.5 g Total...
