This week the metric version of ezRecipe will be available for testing. I know there are quite a few brewers out there that think in metric and I'd like to hear from you too. As metric isn't my first language.

The new Excel version of ezRecipe Design v2.01 is nearly ready to be made available to early adopters. Anyone interested in receiving a copy please send an email to support@ezhomebrewing.com. And I will see to it that you are among the first to have a copy emailed to you. Does it require any specif...

I've just sent out emails with the first release of ezRecipe Design. Check your email inboxes and let me know if you've received your email. And thank you all for helping me test out this new release.

This is coming as a complete shock! Our homebrew club holds our meetings at another New Jersey brew-on-premise homebrew store. I've heard rumblings that sales have been off quite a lot in 2018 because of lack of interest in homebrewing. I guess they're true.

Hi Paul, it's good to see that your actual mash pH results matched ezRecipe's mash pH prediction. As you know ezRecipe v2.01 is currently being tested prior to being released this Spring. It will be released in an Excel spreadsheet version. I will be reaching out to you in the coming weeks for help ...

After the loss this year of several old friends and a parent I'm more than happy to turn the page on 2018. Of course, this year also had many happier memories. But the hurt and pain of losing a loved one are always foremost in mind. Here's to a healthy and happy 2019 for us all!

Earlier this month the owners of Edwards Christmas Tree Farm gave me 2 pounds of their organically grown Concolor Fir (White Fir) tips to use in another batch of Honey Amber Ale. Where the Spruce tips had a woodsy flavor the Fir tips had an orange-citrus flavor and aroma. I brought a five-gallon keg...

Ok...I've got a question that's been on my mind for a while regarding mash pH. MadBrewer says it above and I've read it elsewhere that you need to wait 10 to 15 minutes after mash in to check the pH. Then you've got to wait some more to let the test sample cool down to room temp. So you're mash has...

Yankeedag aka:Clyde, is a FB friend I hear from every once in a while. He's been on the move pretty much since his last post here as far as I can tell.

Our homebrew club has donated $100 to their go fund me page. It's a worthwhile cause and I'm sure they can use the help.

Could you taste the honey? Every time I've tried honey in batches, it only gives the yeasties sugar to up my ABV and I've never been able to taste it in the beer. I'm going to try it again, but I will add the honey after I kill off the yeasties then C02 carb. I'm going to try it in another hard cid...

That's great to hear and it looks great too. So does the glass! :) I'll admit Steve's glass and the one I bought at New Belgium are my favorites. Next month I was told I'm getting a gift of Concolor (aka: White Pine) tips from Edwards Tree Farm in New Jersey. The owners said the tips of the tree ar...

Brewed this up yet again. I usually brew this twice a year and since I make this slightly towards the stout side (some would say), it's perfect for fall just as it is for any other time of the year. I am still experimenting a bit each time though not very much. This time I'm trying Imperial's House...

You definitely get spruce aroma and flavor, you know it's there but not overpowering. It works well with the Northern Brewer hops and some local honey.
