i have brewed many a batch on my electric stove (also a glass top). absolutely no issues if you do all grain. the scorching is a problem when you are doing extract. the concentrated extract sinks to the bottom and can burn there before it completely dissolves. there are a couple of ways to deal with...

it works well. before i used the calc, i would occasionally get slow fermentation, especially on bigger beers (1.070+).

i would really like to have this as a btp feature.

ouch, i go in and clean about a dozen, once a week.

there are also a number of hacks that also prevent html and bbcode for x number of posts too.

i run a board, and there are a lot of spam bots around. the way i reduced a lot of them was by adding a confuse-a-bot hack (there are many available from phpbb.com and phpbbhacks.com). the concept behind these is that they add oddball questions to the registration process. eg:"are you a bot?&qu...

i think that the usefulness of btp as a brew day tool can be improved. right now, i do a 'save as' on the recipe that i have open that brewday. i save as [recipe name] 'as brewed [data]. to keep a record. i think this is a little clunky. what i would like to see is an integrated way to record actual...

if you tied it to the vessel field, and selected the correct container.....

i think so,
'volume' is total volume both grain and water.

i assume that i would use this feature to predict if my mash tun is large enough to hold everything.

i brewed an imperial ipa the other week, and i think there is a problem with the liquor volume calculations. the recipe used about 15 lbs of grain and at 1.25 qt/lb i needed 4.77 gallons of water for the mash. why is it, that in the schedule page, it starts with 6.14 gallons and add additional water...
