hi, I just got time to play on this. It,s great and i managed unexport all my recipes from beersmith too. Problem is that all of the recipes are locked for editing, how do i alter this? Also is there anyway to scale a recipe up or down to alter brew length via brewzor as there is in...

Brew day is tomorrow, and despite playng with the idea of a no sparge ( see other threads) i have decided that coffee and red bull will have to surfice on saturday, so i'll be fly sparging this one. I am a lover of youngs winter warmer, but not able to find a recipe. The idea is to make...

A couple of weeks ago i brewed my most successful brew day ever. I used Wyeast ESB for the first time and think i might have gotten an infection. I also used Crystal hops for the first time and at present the taste is extremely harsh. I took it off the lees yesterday and bottled /kegged...

I am thinking of a lghter tasty session beer to either be brewed in time for christmas ( hence it being one that does not need weeks in secondary) or just after the new year. I am thinking the following. 3290 Pale malt 195 Medium crystal 170 Torrified /wheat malt Hops 40 challenger...

Last week i made this https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/northern-mystery-last-tweak-before-brewday-7th-oct-140198/ I decided to leave the crystal hops in whilst i was cooling the wort as i understand them to be a very mellow hop. I had a taste test yesterday and it is true that they have a...

Guys, I love both Bobek and Cystal but am having real trouble finding someone who has them nd who will ship to europe. Can anyone help me out and point me in the right direction? thanks D

Hi again. Seeing as the war office ( swmbo) is againt me brewing again before christmas it means i am likely in need of a sly way of doing things. I am hoping to brew something stronger in November at some stage. Actually making it in the kitchen isno problem providing i make it whilst she...

well even though i told the wife that i ould not b making another batch before Christmas i am already planning on what to do next ( likely a short brew length of something stronger to be made in November!) Here is the idea and i would like youre thoughts on this. Beersmith is great at telling...

Hi all. I read this thread with interest https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/heat-stick-diy-38489/ A heat stick would be great for me to get the 40 liter pot ( stainless steel) i use for boiling up to boil faster. At present i use a 1.5 kv cooker plate and this can take an age to bring 25...

Hi again all, I am planning Ag # 5 Wednesday. The last brew suffered very poor efficiency so i'll be doing my first batch sparge this time around. The recipe below is based on all my grain arriving in time, otherwise i will be down 500G pale malt. the pilsner is thee for no other...

Hi All, I have been playing around with the bits and pieces i have left and have come up with a recipe. But there seems to be something missing from the hop schedule. I am thinking that it is because i am only using the one variety. here are the details and my comments:- 4.95 kg...

Hi all. I have been lucky in having help for 3 of the 4 Ag brews i have made. this has made doughing in really easy as they sprinkled the grain into the mash water whilst i stired. The one i did myelf was hard going though, so my question is in the case of being alone do you add the grain...

I had some spare time so i had a play with Beersmith. It allowed me to have a look at all the grain descriptions etc too. I also wanted to use the hops i have left . So i came up with a recipe to be brewed over 2 days in the up and coming school half term The recipe is as follows...

Hi, I am hoping to put some cider on this week. temps here in Norway are below 70 at the moment and the garage were i usually ferment is only around the 55 mark. If i pitch the wyeast cider yeast i have will the temperature stop it working or will it mean it just takes a little longer to get...

A guy i work with is an avid wine maker and has invested in an bit of gear that he uses to remove juice from fruit. Basically it sits on the stove and extracts the juice from cut up fri\uit. I know nothing more than that. He is willing to de juice some apples from me ( we have access to...

Hi. Living in Norway i am looking at extortionate prices for a cider kit. A muntons Autumn gold would cost me around 35 GBp plus 13 in postage., this makes it absolutely not worth buying it. For me to make turbo cider with a half decent juice that would give the cider both taste and a...

Hi. I have been taught that you should never splash wort . This means that from the mash tun to the boiler and from the boiler to the FV. Yet i see all the time pictures of people tappibg from the mash tun to the boiler from different heights with no hose pipe. This must casue some...
