No matter how many recipes I try, I always come back to the one I make best, my bitter amber. It’s in the secondary now, and if everything goes right, I’ll drink the first one by the end of the month. As always, here’s the qbrew files:

For those living on the intersection of open source software, and homebrew beers, you’ll want to
apt-get install qbrew
It’s a homebrewer’s recipe calculator, using QT. I don’t take much advantage of the calculator, but rather use it to keep track of recipes.
Moving on, I’ve updated some of my qbrew files, and converted them both to html, [...]
