I just drank one from the batch he is talking about. (I think. Is this the one you labelled "Fresh Squeezed" Brian ?) If so it's damn good.

I brew with my son-in-law mostly. We're setup to run 10's but usually run 5 gallon runs. Splitting the work and the beer makes it fun. But not everyone may have that option. My wife, daughters are all cool with us doing the brew thing because they know they will get fed afterwards. ☺

It probably makes a difference if you're soloing, etc. We usually sip a few while mashing, sparging, etc. But once we get to a boil we fire up the grill or load up the smoker. Ideally when the yeast goes in it's time to eat. Takes practice to time it all out. We start mid afternoon.

There's a difference between enjoying some home brew while brewing and industrial drinking. Once we get to flame out and fire up the chiller I figure I'm safe to change gears if desired. :)

We both set some to "Friends". Made the assumption if you clicked on the person you were following AKA Friend you could see them under thier profile when you clicked on their recipes. Ya can't. All you can see are the full public ones.

Well and the URL's started showing up now. I might have been clicking the wrong order or something. It would be pretty handy if you 3 categories of recipe privacy. Public, Friends & Private. Either way, nice site, reasonable price and useful.

Yeah did't seem to actually do anything. And it references the "URL below". It must be a secure invisible URL? :)

So that first checkbox doesn't really do anything?

Should you be able to see the recipes of a friend if you are both following each other and hit the check box to "share with followed brewers"? Or do have to actually send the URL and they have to keep it?
