Excellent! Sounds like you are having great success with your brewing. Are you brewing Extracts?

Aye, still doing the extracts both liquid and dry. We have been getting more creative with selecting malts, hops, and even yeast strains. We have done some research on brewing fully from grains, and it seems like it is a lot more work, with a lot more variables. We may try it someday though. I met an old guy at the brewer supply store who actually did the whole process by actually allowing the grains to germinate and cracking them and all. I am writing some software to track batches, and calculate specifics such as alcohol, color, and bitterness based on ingredients you add to the recipes and if your recipe fits the range of characteristics for the style, it even tells you which yeast strains are good for each style for a couple different manufacturers from their web data. If it ends up being awesome enough, might make it available free on FR.
