Problem installing BeerEngine

Just bought a new desktop running windows 11 and Macafee won't let me instal Beer Engine. I says it contains a virus.
Anyone else had this problem ?

Re: How to make an excellent lager

I am not a serious lager drinker but this advice has persuaded me to give it a try. I usually brew 60 litres but I also have a 20 litre BM and will brew this alongside my normal beers.
Thanks for the inspiration.

Re: Ditching floating dip tubes

To avoid your original problem of CO2 entering the beer line I used a simpler solution. I weighted the float with a stainless steel nut so that it remained just below the surface of the beer.
I will post a picture of it later today

Re: Can Graham's water treatment calculator be downloaded?

Me too. I have plastified all of them and keep them in a folder. However my water profile does not change.
It would be nice to download it though.

Re: CO2 conditioning

The simple answer to your problem is that fermentation had not finished when the beer was kegged. Resolve that and you will answer the problem.

Re: Connecting to the web to discuss water chemistry and mash pH

Contact Wallybrew on this forum and ask him if he still does water analysis. If he does send him a sample. Then as Nallam says follow Graham's calculator on this site.

Re: Foamy dispense advice please

Hello All! I made a couple of corny kegs of beer then went on holiday for a fortnight. Upon return the beer is great but pours like foam and serves flat. I assume this is overcarbonated and the dispense of foam removes the CO2 on dispense making the beer flat? If I just keep letting the pressure of...
