Wanted to post a picture of this one before it's gone. A very tasty, refreshing, easy drinking beer. Perfect on a summer day. And my wife is very excited about all the yeast taking up room in the fridge...no, not really. Thanks again for this one.

If you are really worried about it, bring it back to a boil for a few minutes and kill of anything that got in there. Sorry about your phone, hope it keeps on working.
Thanks for getting back to me. I did finally figure it out and of course it was a case of operator error. When I went to load the template back into BeerSmith I was doing it as a text file instead of an html. Switched that and "voila" a brand new Brew Day Template. Very Exciting.

I have been trying to make a custom report in BeerSmith this afternoon and I keep running into the same problem. I am not too much of a computer guy so I followed the instructions on how to customize a report in this and everything was going great until the very end when I looked at my new...
Don't know about Vancouver, but if you get a chance you should drive an hour south to Bellingham for the day. Chuckanut, Kulshan, Aslan, Boundary Bay, and Wander are all great breweries.
