I do appreciate the reasoning in making a recipe that has been shown to result in a great beer but I have always been a forge your own path kind of guy. Never have I brewed a beer following a designed recipe. I have always researched recipes from the same style and then made my own recipes that...

Adding this to my notes, thank you

... is this a common thing? How can you be sure? That's terrifying lol

The recipe I have written up has about 5% chocolate and just over 2% roasted barley. Too much? I know what flavors they're supposed to add from readings but being new to AG I'm not entirely sure what going crazy would be considered. I also don't know if this amount of contribution would actually...

Thank you as well for the extra knowledge. I had read in someone else's post that the flavor was a bit different. But the individual that was posting about it did seem to have an overwhelming bias that made it seen that they viewed 6 row as just an inferior version of two row. I like your take...

Thank you all for sharing your wisdom. I will toast my first AG beer to all of you.

Thank you for your input. This is pretty much what I suspected from all of the reading and research on this forum I have been doing. I am currently deployed and haven't been able to brew in a little over 7 months. I have decided to get some equipment and make the jump to AG and made up some...

I am new to all-grain, so having to deal with different grains rather than getting an extract that is already mixed with grains is a new concept for me. I was reading that the main differences in 2 row and 6 row is that 6 row used to have more diastatic enzymes to the point that you would...

I can't do that just this seconds but when I'm off shift in a little over an hour I can go ahead and do that for you.

You're not using any kind of a formula with an "if" statement in it are you? Any kind of comparison would be the only reason I could think of a cell that is supposed to display data, instead displaying "FALSE". Maybe the two programs handle such differently... but then the blank cells above it...

No problem. I code so I understand too well the intricacies and frustration of trying to make different languages/programs communicate the same information without popping a blood vessel haha

Yes, they do go away when I select none. I will save my file so that it is set to that. When I go to the original file I downloaded from your link and click on the empty row B cells, rows 7-9 have "None" in blue as if they are defaulted to such. However, for rows 10-15, when I click on those...

@ScrewyBrewer, with your program, I input all of my grains and my desired style and it gave me an estimated pH of 4.9.

@Silver_Is_Money, so I paid special attention to the DI mash range that you mentioned, something I hadn't noticed when I messed with it the other day. I chose the fifth selection, as the majority of my grain bill consists of MO though, I do have a decent amount of 6 row in there as well (I've...

I actually already downloaded yours and plugged the numbers in the other day when we were chatting. I noticed it in your signature and gave it a gander. I will post the results I got with the ones I get from his as soon as my PC decides to not be a pain in my side.

No worries at all my friend, I'm actually deployed and unable to brew for an abhorrent amount of time. Simply putting recipes together so that when I get home and can actually brew I can just knock them out one after the other. I truly appreciate everyone giving me their time. I will go ahead...

Thank you a ton for all of the help and information! I hope to learn more from you all as I delve deeper into this forum.

Oh I swear I saw that very picture on another thread that I was reading today! Very nice. The whole transfer to the keg to minimize oxygen contact is still a bit over my head. But I think I learn better doing vs reading. That does look glorious though!

Oh wow, that is nice! And it sounds versatile as well. I'm going to have to look into getting one of those. And yeah, I'm trying to keep it as simple as my drive to explore and experiment will allow. I used kits for my first two batches and then just started making my own recipes with the...

Thanks for the love everyone. And yeah @OG-wan Kenobi (dope username btw), I think that the extra process of mashing and sparging and watching pH and efficiency etc just seemed daunting from the beginning. Not that it seems simple now, I just wanted to get more into the actual process rather...
