    I don't really understand how software is making beer for you. I use BeerSmith routinely but design all my recipes on how I want my beer to taste. BeerSmith can't do that.

    I also tend to only use Beersmith on my laptop to create recipes and fiddle with water adjustment etc on brewdayd. I pdf the brewsteps and attach it to my brew day notes that I take on my e-ink notebook. My main wish is that I can import data from iSpindel into BeerSmith

    I use BeerSmith. I just tried Brewfather but I didn't like it. I suspect that is more down to 8 years familiarity with BeerSmith rather than any shortcomings in Brewfather.

    Sabro Hops at Malt Miller

    Thanks for this. I was only thinking earlier today to make a Sabro pale ale.

    Motueka!

    Motueka and Pacific Jade work well together in a golden ale

    How much do you value repeatability?

    I write everything down for my brew day on an e-ink notebook. I also upload my BeerSmith Brew Steps and Taste notes to it so I have a complete record of that recipe. I have a number of favourite recipes that I like to repeat.

    Should we be testing mash pH at 45 mins?

    I generally check pH about 10 minutes into the mash. I make my acid addition to the liquor before I mash in. It's more of a check for me and I don't worry about correcting low pH unless it's below 5.1

    League one and two football thread

    He rarely played the full 90 for us. I saw today that he only managed that 11 times over 2 seasons. Saying that, we got 77 games out of him over two seasons which is comfortably the best in his career. I reckon Gills will be up there this season - you seem to be making really good signings

    League one and two football thread

    @Braufather. I loved Jonny Williams. Should be playing above league 2. He has got injury issues, but keep him fit and he can be a game changer from midfield. He was our top scorer last season

    90 min mash

    I have always mashed for 90 mins for the key scientific reason that it gives me enough time for lunch in my brew day

    Book by Dave Line

    I will check when I get home from work but the 1979 version wasn't first edition so it's possible that it was in an earlier version

    I have the 1979 version and can't see it in there.

    Brew Books - What's On Your Shelf??

    I got given these over the weekend. There are quite a few recipes from breweries long since gone that I am tempted to brew.

    January Brew Review Thread - Rye IPA

    Firstly, apologies for the lateness of my review @Hazelwood Brewery. Rest assured your beer has been stored at 11C prior to drinking. On pour this had a lovely fresh, clean aroma with pine/citrus hops coming through? There is a subtle bready malt flavour that lingers with a nice pepperiness...

    January Brew Review Thread - Rye IPA

    Next up is Stu's Brews Knight Ryeder. Opened with a subtle hiss. On pour, the first thing to hit me was the citrus hops. I think I also pick up stone fruit in there? The aroma definitely carries through to the taste and it's here that the rye malts come through. There is a definite spice to...

    Brewuk website "down for maintenance"

    That was my experience as well sadly.

    January Brew Review Thread - Rye IPA

    First of the Rye beers today. @Alastair70 's Rye hard with a Vengeance. Bottle opened with a subtle hiss. This is a lovely looking beer; a nice copper/red colour with good clarity. The head was small but retained throughout drinking. Aroma wise I picked up sweet caramel as most prominent with...

    What are you drinking tonight 2023.

    Vault City lemon and slime sour. Really refreshing beer. Not sure about the colour!
