shopping list
I have a recipe that I like but I ran out of the hops I always use so I subbed different hops but I can't subtract them from my inventory because I have to make a new planned recipe. Plus I can't seem to subtract the grain or all the other stuff either unless I make a whole new planed recipe just be...

Lesson learned about being cheap
I feel I should share my mistakes with others, so you won't make the same errors I made. In the quest to obtain the perfect strike temp, I found my problem and it's not the software, it was my digital thermometer. I was using 2 thermometers I picked up in a big box store's cooking section and one wa...

I see what you mean by increasing the coolers heat capacity. But wouldn't I be behind the curve each time because I would have to guess at the heat capacity prior to brewing. Looking at my notes from my last brew I was off by 2 degrees, and this time it was 4 degrees. If I remember correctly it was ...

When I change the ambient air temp from 80 to 40 I only get a 1 degree difference in strike temp. 171.3 verse 172.3. I'm seeing a 4-5 degree lower final temp verse spot on in summer. If I go in to the calibration menu for my igloo and change the environment settings to 40 degrees it lowers my strike...

I really think I need to account for the difference in the mash tuns physical temp from when I first calibrated it when it was warmer till now that it's getting cooler outside. Hope this photo shows, it's a pic of my setup. http://...

Strike temp in cold weather
I do my brewing in the garage and with the weather growing ever colder as the days get shorter my strike temp is off by a few degrees lower each time. During the summer days it was spot on each time Do I need to recalibrate my mash tun for colder weather or can I adjust the values somewhere in the p...
