Turbodog Redux
Austin Homebrew Supply offers several recipes for existing beers available at the market. I am brewing their Abita Turbodog right this moment. I added the yeast fuel and the alcohol booster that are add-ons available before checkout.
I prefer AHS for my brewing supplies because their shipping charges are affordable and their wide selection of ingredients and kits are unmatched. I will have the qbrew file up by the day's end.
I went extra-anal on sanitizing & cleansing this cook, and used bottled water instead of the mud that comes from these Dothan taps.

Austin Homebrew is great. I will have to figure out what a qfile is.
One thing, I live in Southern Maryland and my water tastes fine so I figured I would try making two batches with tap water instead of bottled water. Well they came out pretty bad. They were a bronze color instead of a nice gold, plus I could absolutely taste an off-flavor, almost yeast like. I made those two batches twice before and once after, all with bottled water and they came out a lot better.
For the extra $5, for me it is definitely worth it.

If you use Windows, I’ll have to find the corresponding program. On Linux, QBrew helps brewers track their recipes and attempts at beers. I do believe there’s a Windows-based program called BeerSmith but I don’t know if it is free.

Thanks, I run Mac OS X at home but Windows at work. I will have to do some digging to find out a little more info.
