Hello from Burlington, Ont., Canada.
(The nickname relates the fact that I ride a Honda Goldwing ......... and I'm not young!
I have made wine with success for many years. I tried beer a long time ago with no success at all, but its time to try again!
This time, I am going to try all grain, I have pretty much gathered all the equipment I need, including making a kegerator, and I'm about ready to start - although we usually head south with our RV for the winter so I'll likely wait until Spring.
Meanwhile, I am just getting used to kegging, and I cheated by buying finished wort from a local microbrewery for my first experiment!
I bought Beersmith 2 to use on my Mac and believe it will be very useful. At first I found it confusing, and I still have lots of questions, but the more I read about home brewing, the more it helps me to understand.
One minor annoyance I just came across this morning ........................
I have been copying a few recipes from the internet into Brewsmith2 to try out later. I wanted to add some notes to the recipes taken from the original source, and figured I could easily do a cut and paste from the original source.
But I cannot.
I can of course cut the paragraph from the internet source, but when I switch to paste it into Beersmith2 (into notes within the recipe,) the cut/paste options remain grayed out?
Am I doing something wrong here? Surely this should be possible?
