Only time for one quick post today and this looks like a great thread. Welcome to the forum mj and I love the topic title. Fantastic!

I'm sure heaps of us would love to see what you have. Post it up!

One really annoying thing though about the BIABacus is that you can't import and export recipes from one version to the other. We used to be able to do it but it would only work on some machines using some programs. Hopefully we'll get the BIABAcus coded down the track so we can get rid of those limitations.

Maybe we can find a few volunteers to put your recipes into the first official BIABacus version?

Looking forward to your next post mj ,

This sounds like an awesome idea mj05.

If you do get one going MJ05 then you should PM BobBrews and get the recipe for Fish Pee, Teralingua Snake Bite and Chocolate Covered Beaver Nuts. I wanna know what they are about.
I think one of them at least is a beer

nosco,

They are all beers! "Fish Pee" Is a common British Bitter. I just brew it at our annual club get-together on a lake in the middle of Winter. I use the crystal clear lake water just under the ice. Fish Pee!

Bob, we might have to Skype on those recipes to knock them into a scaleable format. Try and find some jeans and a shirt though. That dress you wore last time we Skyped was a little confronting sorry.

Happy to help with the editing, once BIABacus official release is out,

PM me mj05 when you are ready to start and let me know how I can help.

Prob best if I let you take the lead, and you just tell me how I can help, less potential for confusion.

Thanks Bob. The beaver nuts sounds pretty dam tastey. A bit out of my xp level but id like to try it one day.

I just noticed the recipes posted up today thanks Bob . Im might have to try the Teralingua Snake Bite asap. I am discovering that I like bitter/hoppy beers more than I thought. Although 2oz does sound like a lot .Ill have to mail order the super alpha hops though.

Cheers.

Ok after reading around its not that much at all lol

nicko,

Fish Pee is just a British Bitter brewed with lake water. The name is truly accurate and the beer truly scrumptious.

All recipes are low integrity until PP revises them. I just brew everything the way the recipe creator wrote them. I recon he (or she) worked hard at it and I need to trust them? I can tweak it later on if I feel the urge?

nicko,

I hope you can make it here. The craft beer industry is expanding almost daily. Every section in every direction has a new brew pub with crazy and tasty brews!

Probably .

...

I'm good mates with Bob but I don't think he realises how much he innately knows about brewing. It is all very well for him to say,

I don't think Bob realises how much work/time it costs myself and others like Yeasty, mally, MS and Rick who spend so many hours here trying to teach others if they are dealing with high integrity recipes.

A recipe is either high integrity or lower. I nor anyone else have any control over that. It is of high integrity or it isn't.

If you think, "throw a bucket of ground flour in a bin half-full of water, mix and add a hand-ful of salt and four pinches of poppy seeds and you will get bread when you rise and bake it, then cool! You might get bread.

...

If Bob posts or gives links to two or three original recipes that he copied from other sites and thought were great, I absolutely guarantee that I can use any other program out there to come up with at least a twenty percent variance on how the original recipe can be interpreted.

This current set-up is crap. If Bob, who I trust as a brewer does not have the education or tools to convey me his great recipe, then things are not good. (I don't think you realise this Bob but don't worry mate because you are really old )

...

What this site is trying to do is give the education and tools so as high integrity brewers can pass on quality information and high quality recipes simply without any of these being degraded.

Out of time, have to race but it is a shame to see this thread was another opportunity for everyone to make a difference. Bob was the only one to post a recipe and no one linked to the other threads we have going on this. Here is one.

YES, I am old! Agreed.

I love to brew. I love to try new recipes. I trust my fellow brewers. I have no taste buds to speak of. (that's why I like almost every beer I try and can't taste " kettle tap infections".) I am all of these and more!

I don't obsess over small things. Life is to short and precious to waste on the trivial. "Worry is interest paid on a bill that never arrives". I live my life using the "Horseshoes and Hand Grenades" Philosophy, (close, is good enough).

Everyone has high integrity recipes to me because they tried hard and are proud of what they did. They want to share and to be given some recognition. I give them credit for their time and efforts. If their recipe is less than perfect? I don't fault them, for I am not perfect either.

I no longer brew to style because I don't like people defining for me what style is. I am brewing with apples, honey, grain, grapes and anything else that ferments. You can't classify me as a brewer because "I have no class"

Brew on brothers! Even though I may brew with low integrity? I live with high integrity
