Thanks Yooper. I have received your email and will respond.

I am sad to say the endless defects with this site are too much for me and I will be taking my recipes elsewhere. Every time I edit or attempt to create a recipe, something is changed or broken. Tonight, after a break of 6 months from brewing, I thought I would create a new recipe for an...

Just tested this on the beta site. Adding custom fermentables seems to work, percentages, SRM and IBU appear to be calculated. Existing recipes also appear to bring in custom fermentables correctly as well. Clicking on "Inventory Filter" still does nothing. I am not sure what this is supposed...

There have recently been major changes to the drop down list arrangement for getting custom fermentables from your inventory into a recipe. It used to be very simple: custom fermentables from your inventory would be at the top of the drop down list in the recipe builder and you could simply pick...

Yes, good point. I think I could probably add an additional 1 - 1.5 metres of line to my current arrangement as per Trialben's suggestion. This would slow the beer generally and might help with the brown ales in particular. I am also considering dropping my carbonation pressure to 11 psi. I do...

I have recently been working on a brown ale recipe and have brewed several slightly different versions (all grain). Each of them has turned out OK, but all of them have had way too much head when pouring from my kegerator. I can pour only half a pint or so and then have to settle the glass for...

Thanks Nosybear for the information - this clarifies things for me. I did not know that the chlorine/phenol reaction could occur in all phases of brewing, not just fermentation. I have read about Campden tablets and may start using them as a guarantee to knock out all chlorine. I was reading...

The water where I live and brew is lightly chlorinated by the water authority - free chlorine but no chloramine; you can just taste it occasionally in a glass of water or smell it in the steam from a hot shower. I have always removed the free chlorine prior to brewing by either gassing off my...
