    Using sugar to dry out a beer

    Hey folks, I'd like to dry out an IPA recipe I'm working on and understand sugar either at the end of the boil or introduced after initial fermentation has occured should work. I can't figure how much to add to drop a few points as when I enter it in to the recipe build it only raises the OG and...

    "Exceeded batch size" error ????

    Never seen this before. Anyone know what it means or how it happened? Not sure what water to start with now and will try and compare past like recipes to determine. ????

    Inventory deducted inconsistent with items used on "Brew!" link

    Here's another screwy thing as of late. The inventory being deducted on brew day is not the same ingredients as the recipe. Not sure if this screen shot will show it but it is removing aromatic malt in place of acidulated, pale malt in place of rye and ESB malt in place of wheat.

    Quick Water Requirements - Math don't lie

    I noticed 2 brews ago the water requirement for my brew seemed higher than normal. Turned out it was wrong and I missed my gravities and had extra wort remaining in the the keggle after filling the fermenter. Last brew was same so I manually adjusted my water by eye and it worked out perfectly...

    Lost past brew sessions and now have new water requirements?

    So I copied and changed a regular recipe (base malt and hop type) and was planning on brewing tomorrow when I noticed my water requirements were quite high at 8.85gal. Went back in my notes and past recipe (on paper) was 8.45! Decided to look up past brews and is now showing as the 8.85. What...

    Water requirements 60min vs 90min boil

    Hey guys question for you. If I wanted to play with a 90 minute boil from the standard 60 minute boil, where and how do I do this so it takes the increased water boil off rate into consideration? I just ran a test with 2 identical recipes and with the only difference being the hop addition at...

    What's with the inventory glitch?

    Hey can anyone or admins help me? I can't understand why when I go to brew, this system is not "finding" my hops despite making sure they are the same and showing as in stock in the recipe? This happened last week and I had to manually adjust my numbers but this is a real PITA. Anyone else...

    Label print issue

    Seems an update or something has buggered the label print function from centered to the far left, particularly in the "E" option.

    Where hass the Technical issues forum gone? Adding new inventory issue!

    Not sure where to post this as I can't find the technical issues forum anymore. I'm trying to add a regular inventory item (Canadaian Pale malt) and I can't? Do I have to make a custom fermentable and what is that going to do with all my recipes? I've tried to add it and it wants to know the...

    Belgian Candi-syrup clear

    Looking at a Humulus Insani DIPA recipe that calls for 0.85 lb of Belgian candi-syrup clear but my LHBS doesn't carry it. Seriously considering just making it myself as a simple syrup since its clear after-all. Thinking I could just simmer a little longer than normal to thicken it up and take it...

    Label generator pic size issue

    Is there a way to change the label generator program to allow us to adjust the picture size within the label configuration? I use the label tool quite often but don't care for the amount of bare dead space on label between the title of the beer and the stats below and would be great if I could...

    HELP! Understanding the custom fermentable option

    HELP!!! I'm in a jam and can't figure out what is going wrong. I recently bought a bag of Rahr 2 row malt which comes from the Alix malthouse in Alberta. The item isn't on the pull down menu so I added it to the custom fermentable with the ppg, L and DP numbers which are very close to the stats...

    Portable beer tap

    Anybody ever try one these? How'd it workout? I'm entering a local homebrewer competition and taking at least one keg, hopefully 2 to dispense from at the meet. Trying to decide if I want to build some kind of cooler/stand with actual taps (borrowed from the kegerator) or just throw the kegs in...

    Lupulin Powders

    Just got my first pound of Citra Lupulin powder from North West Hops and trying to add it to my inventory but there is no option for Lupulin powder, only Lupulin pellets. Guess this is the same thing?

    How do I make a snap shot of a recipe?

    Little drowsy I guess. I've done one before (while ago mind you) and now can't figure out how the heck I did it. Can someone hold my hand and take me through the steps please? :confused:

    Print Recipe layout

    Any way to move the print layout a little to the right by increasing the left margin? The right margin is unusually large and having the left smaller, means losing info when you hole punch the recipe to stick it in a binder. I can't seem to be able to adjust margins for this on any of my...

    Filthy dirty plate chiller

    Pulled out my plate chiller on the weekend to build a stand for it for the brew cart. Took it to the Depot to look for hardware and was explaining how it worked to the guy helping me when I noticed it was crusty inside one of the wort ports. Got it home to take a better look at it and came to...

    Using ginger in primary/secondary.

    Hey folks I brewed a ginger beer last night and the recipe calls for adding an oz into primary then another into secondary. I've never done this before and worry about infection if I don't sanitise it first. Is this something I need to concern myself with? I've been dry hopping for years...
