Hi All.. Have been brewing BIAB for a long time, and on a "break" from alcohol for a while. I've been REALLY enjoying some of the Hoplark sparkling hop tea's. Not seeing much online regarding clones of these.. Anyone played with anything yet and come close? Should be pretty easy and very...

Hey all.. Question for the leak experts out there.. I'm in the process of changing over connection systems.. Swapping over from pin lock to ball lock for a few reasons.. In any event, I"ve dealt with my fair share of leaks and emptied CO2 cylinders in the past and I"m going through...

Copied from an Email that I sent to Beersmith, and have not received a response. I'm having some issues with Scaling recopies with BS.. I've watched Brad's video on it, and read the small amount of documentation on his website, however the abbreviated nature is somewhat lacking in detail.. The...

Wanted to get some thoughts on fermentation temperatures.. I have a sanyo mini fridge that I use as my keggerator.. It has a dual tap tower, and CO2 tank mounted inside.. Also using a Johnson Controls A419 for temp management in the keggerator. I've been using it in the past for fermentation...

Question about all of the talk in various threads regarding "efficiency".. FWIW.. I'm still new to BIAB, as well as to BeerSmith. I have spent countless hours in the software, and think that I have a good grasp of the concepts behind "Mash efficiency" vs "Brewhouse Efficiency", as well as how...

Greetings.. So after HOURS and HOURS of reading and preparing.. I did my first all grain/BIAB batch today.. WOOHOO.. Had a ton of fun doing it, and learned a lot.. Thankfully I didn't have too much drama, other than a slightly torn bag due to me forgetting about the dang temp probe in my...
