We are big fans of BeerSmith here at Bull City Homebrew. It's a champ for putting together recipes and getting the most out of your brewing. We're happy to announce that we are now official resellers of BeerSmith, and it will be available for purchase at the store. The suggested retail price is $27.50, but because we think it's such an important addition to your brewing, we're going to offer it for $22.00. That's a 20% discount for Bull City Homebrew customers!

BeerSmith and Bull City Homebrew Inventory

We realize that if you're going to use BeerSmith, then you need to be able to know Bull City Homebrew's stock. If you make a recipe that includes Golden Promise Malt, you want to know that we carry it. To help with this, we've made three BeerSmith files that you can download and use to put together recipes, and know for certain that we carry every ingredient you need for that recipe. These files have prices for every ingredient as well, so you can calculte your total before coming to the store.

Water Profiles

Kyle has also included the local water profiles for Durham and Cary. Doug Widman and Charlie McGee very generously sent us their BeerSmith water profile for Chapel Hill and Carrboro, and we appreciate their research and allowing us to use their data. Not enough info was found for Raleigh, so if someone has that, please let us know. Also included is Martin Brungard's water profiles for different beer styles. We really appreciate that he allowed us to include them. According to Martin, "The included Bru'n Water profiles won't solve the dilema of how much alkalinity the brewing water needs for a particular brew. Please use the Bru'n Water Excel Application for that," which is available on his web site.
