    Brewmate Timer Issue

    Did anyone ever work this out? I've been having the same problem... I love Brewmate as a program but it freezes every now and then when the 15min fining addition alarm is supposed to sound. This can really bugger things up. Anyone have any joy working out why this bug is happening?

 - Belgian Strong Big creamy head, pale golden to straw in colour, slightly cloudy. Aroma is sweet without the Belgian yeast funk that you get in a lot of Belgian beers. Drinks sweet initially with a drier finish. Medium hop bitterness and very little hop flavour/aroma. Nicely carbed...

    15. Edak - Pirates American IPA
 Nice golden colour, thick white head and a great floral / fruity nose. Tastes a bit like Centennial or something hop wise? Really solid beer Edak. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

    It's basically the Dunkelweizen from Brewing Classic Styles I've done it twice. Both delicious. This one however, I mustn't have got my spoon size quite right for the dextrose going into the bottles. I love the dark raisiny fruityness of a good Dunkel. Gross Dunkelweissen OG 1.056 FG 1.014...

    It's ready mate. Unfortunately the lack of carb was not due to it not being old enough. I think I f**ked up and used the wrong size dextrose spoon when bottling them up. Give it a try mate. 4. Meathead - DSGA Drank this one the other night and quite enjoyed it. Quite dark for a golden ale ;)...

    22. Technobabble - Two Fat Ducks Golden Ale Golden in colour slightly hazy. Good fruity hoppy aroma but quite subtle. Nice creamy head, smooth creamy mouthfeel. Enjoyed the beer. Nice one. 19. Grainer Witbier Darkish yellow to golden in colour. Decent carbonation but very little head...

    Thanks for the feedback Shane. Yeah the keg of it we did tasted great so I'm pretty disappointed. We usually keg our beers and do a few bottles at the end. Must have used the 500ml scoop instead of the 750ml for the dextrose. Bummer.

    Thanks mate that was a mis-post. Hehehe. Okay here goes.. breakbeer - Black Nelson IPA Drank this one the other night and really enjoyed it Glenny. Nice hop nose on it. I agree with Charst that I like a bit of a fuller boddy to a black IPA but this one certainly hit the mark that it was...

    Our beer.... #3 - Dunkelweissen Drinks okay. Not carbed enough. Pretty disappointed about the carbonation on this one. Flavour and colour is not far off what we were aiming for but just no head retention and not enough carbonation which is a bummer. Used Weihenstephan yeast but didn't quite...

    Charst - currently drinking your Saison. Golden, dry and spicy and full of farmyard freshness. Yeast is there but does not dominate. A hint of sweetness there to match the dry finish. This is a much better beer than what you were describing the other day Charst. Don't sell yourself short. Time...

    Manticle - tasted your brown porter tonight. Made sure it warmed up a bit before diving in... That's a cracker of a beer! Nicely rounded, faintly toasty with some nice chocolate notes. I could drink many many of those. Hope the rest of the beers in the swap are that good. Great beer. Yum.

    Yeah that was great fun. Highly entertaining day with some tasty beers and good beer geek talk. That spit was smelling amazing by the time we had to head off. Great work and thanks for having us all over Glenny (breakbeer).

    Brewmate no chill box calculations

    As Goid said - its the later additions that change heaps. Say you throw in a lot of hops at flameout.... Try putting in a 0 minute boil addition - 28 grams of something like Galaxy with a high AA% and then tick and untick the no-chill box. You will see quite a big difference because when you...
