The solution to this is as old as bureaucracy itself: Cheat. Make the beer the best way you can, and afterwards adjust the beercalc numbers so that they won't be hurting you. I am sure this was not Dan's intention, but that many creative brewers will end up tuning the numbers a bit. Of course the judges are going to notice if a porter claims to be a pale pilsner, but small uncertainties in EBC, IBU, and gravities can well be explained away as errors in estimation and uncertain processes... -H -- Heikki Levanto LSD - Levanto Software Development <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
