NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3500

be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to
spare for next year. Please consider it.

Hi Keith,

I was just looking at the new version of Beersmith (v2.1) and in the
features it talks about their new recipe sharing.

You can check it out at: http://beersmithrecipes.com/help

I have not signed up for the service or bought the software yet. Still on
the trial.

Hope it helps.

Subject: Recipe databases

I am looking for web sites that feature beer recipes, especially ones that
allow for keyword searches based on ingredients. Any assistance is greatly
appreciated. Thanks very much!

Subject: Re: Recipe formulations from sugar

Our UK micro uses extract potential as the yardstick for sugar additions.
Our additions are always <10% of total extract as calculated on an LDK
basis. We use a value of 383 litre-degrees per kilo for sugar. This is
done outside of the standard grist extract efficiency calculation since you
would assume 100% efficiency for sugar additions. Our sugar additions are
in the copper.
