    Amount Packaged Estimate Ignores Dry Hops

    You can enter the amount packaged in the brew log. The estimate of 5.25 is in the fermenter, as I had a post boil of 5.5 gallons. I don't really know of a way to estimate dryhop loss.

    What IPA to brew for spring?

    Yeah, Chico although my favorite homebrew store doesn't carry White Labs and 001 is still my favorite. I've used Omega (004) and Wyeast, but find that the Wyeast I like best for IPAs tends to be 1217.

    What IPA to brew for spring?

    I'm going to brew in the next week or so, but have a dilemma. We have two IPA lovers in the house. One loves a very firm malt backbone with some crystal malt and a firm bitterness (think Surly Furious, Sierra Nevada's Celebration, or even Bell's Two Hearted). The other likes crisp, dry...

    Disparity between recipe builder and calculator

    It's definitely really odd- but I can recreate it in my own account. I did see that your water needs were really strange when I looked at the quick water requirements generated in that recipe: Do you really have that much loss? Something is really wonky with those calculations, but in my...

    Brewzilla? Anyone have one and can give some advice?

    Weirdly, a Brewzilla Gen 4 just came up on Facebook marketplace in my rural area, just about a 2 hour drive away. But…..it’s a 120V. 35L. Husband (the brewer) died 16 months ago and had used it 6 times. Photos look good. Now the dilemma……120v? What would make this a good enough deal to go...

    Hop Water.......vs Topo Chico clone?

    Thanks! I never thought about that- it might be really good! I was more thinking about the intense watermelon candy flavor in the IPA that I found really off-putting.

    Hop Water.......vs Topo Chico clone?

    I always have a keg of sparkling water on tap, and I'm loving the Topo Chico clone. I have never done a hop water seltzer before, and am thinking about that instead. Just this once.....maybe. :) What works for you? What doesn't? I have a ton of hops and varieties in the freezer and aside...

    New to water chemistry

    You've got some great advice already- but if you want to learn a bit about why you would add certain things and what they do, there is a three part article here for those beginning to delve into water chemistry: https://www.brewersfriend.com/2017/11/19/brewing-water-basics-part-1/

    Water calc won't compute

    Strange- I see a mash pH. What browser are you using?

    Brewzilla? Anyone have one and can give some advice?

    How big of a batch can you make no sparge? I’ve been doing no sparge for a long time (full volume mashes) and I really want to continue.

    TiltPi not updating Brew Session.

    I have not seen a recent ticket- however, I think I did send you the documents on how to step-by-step troubleshoot. If you still have questions please let me know. That documentation is here: https://docs.brewersfriend.com/devices/tilt And make sure the settings in the Tilt app are correct.

    Water calculations - roasted vs specialty malts

    I guess it’s best to explain that some of the ingredients are from our database, but others are added by the users and that makes a huge difference, so I need to look at the specifics. When you link your recipe to the water calc it should auto populate with the correct description and the...

    Water calculations - roasted vs specialty malts

    Thanks! Do you have the recipe that the calc is linked to, or did you type it in? I wanted to see if the issue is with something in the database,or something with the recipe builder pulling in ‘extra’ ingredients that aren’t in the calculator as well as seeing the prediction before the water...
