i think the top one from the jamil show can you brew it is mashed at 65, (and having listen to an interveiw with the fullers brewer this seems to be correct and all so they tend not to dry hop ) and the bottom one from BYOBRA is mashed at 67, hopping times are there, its just one version is hoped qu...

Tools - Options - Units.
The "precision" column is the number of decimal places.

Thanks for that.

same here im using it to brew an American Ale at the weekend, just keyed this in to beersmith 2 http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/ryeball ... le-295398/
i think the picture sold it to me

I have used it for around a month now and decided to buy because It just did everything I wanted. It is highly customisable (is that a real word or some Americanism?). For example I was irritated that when dealing in weights at Kg level any figures such as 323g would be displayed as .32g. It was po...

hey me as well ill take 4 if available

A 1L starter should be sufficient for 25L. If you're worried about it, you could always make the last step slightly larger. Cheers Thats good to here Do you think that doing it the original way from slant to 300ml then to 1000ml i would have been under pitching, because there were definitely some b...

Just recently i have been getting some flavors in my beer ever since i have been using my own slants, the yeast seems ok, so i could not work out why this is happening, so i got myself a copy of the yeast book and now realize i have been seriously under pitching. i normally do a 25 l tr batch, how i...

Fining will pull your beer bright in 24-48 hours if the problem is suspended yeast. It won't sort anything else out. However, working with finings is not the easiest thing to do. It's difficult to get isinglass into a proper solution, and ready made isinglass tends to be ineffective due to improper...

thanks for your reply, but the problem is i think i put it in the corny to soon it was only on day 7 so i think it has a thick layer of yeast on the bottom because i just undone the lid and scooped a glass off the top and its crystal clear so i am just going to siphon into another corny

i have a beer ready for Christmas but the problem is it is seriously cloudy i cant even see my hand through the other side, it taste great and normally i would not mind it cloudy but its going to be drunk by the rest of my family, i have isinglass that i have not used before ( not sure how to mix it...

would always prefer to pitch cold if possible.

I would also lager it in bulk before bottling - a lot of crud is going to settle out during lagering, and ideally you don't want that in your bottles.

what about kegging could i lager in a corni ?

i have just done a pilsner last week i pitched at 15 and slowly over a few hours lowered it down to 12.2 and its fermenting fine (rotten egg smell)

i would just like a wiring diagram for a herms system controller
