hi

I don't know if this will help, but you might try deleting your "Beertoolslibrary.rsd" file. You can find it's location by checking under EDIT> PREFERENCES> GENERAL, and then reinstalling.

Help! I just bought this program, and I hope I made the right choice. I was inputting a guiness clone that I recently did, as an experiment. When I used 80 degree (C) water as my strike (3.75gallons) I came out with a temp of 70 in my 5 gallon igloo mash tun (approximately 12 lb grain). However, BTP...
