Hi Andy, Daab. Cheers. :)

I've looked at a couple of software packages on the net, the odd trial version, etc. I always end up staring at the screen and going Whaaa? Confused! Don't know where to start. It's not difficult to do it all on paper anyway. (Old School)

Ahh, you may mock, but were porter, mild, pale ale, IPA, stout, lager, and pilsener, created on a laptop? Methinks not, and if paper was good enough for them, it's good enough for me....

....mind you..Labbats Extra Chill Ice Filtered Citrus Beer Lite probably was created on a PC........'nuff said :wink:

Fortunately not, when tempted to browse the forum while brewing though I have visions of doing this and resist the temptation.

I did spill a glass of Jack Daniels on a laptop once though :roll: #-o
Disaster! It probably spoiled the laptop as well! :lol:

Ribena is murder too...especially when poured over the keyboard by a 3 year old.

Since we put a new floor down in the kitchen, my wife would much rather I created brews on the laptop, rather than in the kitchen, as previously :(

Don't know if any of you know the Dilbert cartoon strip that was in one of the newspapers a few years back. The characters were in an office based enviroment and they were always taking the p*ss out of the boss and demeaning him in someway. I remember him saying his laptop had crashed again and wanted to know how to reboot it. Dilbert and is collegue said, 'Turn it upside down and shake it over your head' Boss leaves happy with this. The collegue turns to Dilbert and says. 'When are we going to tell him it's an Etch a Sketch' :lol:

23L

Pale malt: extract = 3 x 300/23 = 39.13


Wheat malt: extract = 3 x 390/23 = 50.86


Total potential extract =39.13 + 50.86 = 89.99 (degrees of gravity)


1.070 % 89.99 x 100 = 77.78

so has this come out at 78% Efficiency


The SG 1.070 at 26c For 23L :roll: or did i miss some think
