OK, My first attempt at a post here... Please bare with me as it may be longer then you would like to read :-X
OK, I just picked up beer smith v2 and I am looking forward to an exciting brew day on Sat (12/13/14)
I picked up some equipment off CL fairly cheap. My equipment consist of the following
1) Mash Tun - 10G Igloo Lowes (Blue) Cooler w/ ball valve (I think 3/4 inch not sure)
2) 42Qt Stainless Steel (shiny) brew kettle with NO ball valve or temp... sucks, I know!
A brew kit which I think is a brewers best kit. It has the following...
3) 2 food grade 5gallon buckets. I am assuming one is a fermenter while the other is for bottling...
4) 1 plastic water jug looking fermenter with temp sticker on the side
5) assortment of bungs, airlocks, thermometers, Star Sand, funnels, hydro meter, refractometer that measures SG, digital scales, propane burner, ect...
I bought a kit off line at northern brewer. I started off easy with a Chocolate Milk Stout Extract.
After going into beer smith and setting up what I think it my right equipment profile... I was surprised to find that my directions on the kit don't match the beer smith directions.
I found a addon within beer smith that has the recipe i bought from northern brewer
How do i proceed with the recipe?
cheers!
