Plenty of stuff on YouTube and Google about dip hopping. But yes the idea is to soak hops in liquor, either just the adjusted water or mash liquid at mash temperature for at least an hour, then add them to the cool wort in the fermenter. Those with ss fermenters can just add the hops direct...

**Sucked** bloody auto spell!

Ever sacked on a hop pellet?

Hi Guys I recently had a crack at the 'dip hopping' method with a Hazy IIPA and it worked really, really well. I called it Crazy Hazy if you want to look it up. For the IBU calc in the recipe builder I selected "Mash Hop" at 70C for the "dip hops". The only other hops added were in the...

Thanks for getting back on that query Priceless. Your suggestion worked perfectly. I reiterate, BF is simply awesome. Great stuff guys. Cheers and Merry Christmas to all at BF.

Thanks Yooper. It's not a big deal, just curious. Brewers Friend is still bloody awesome. Cheers Alan

Hi. For a while now I've noticed that the quick water requirements calculator (Recipe Tools drop down) gives an "equipment estimate" volume in brackets as well as another volume for some recipes. It appears that the "equipment estimate" is the more accurate of the two. For the IPA that I...

Hi Yooper FYI attached are before and after print outs of a recipe showing the fixed water volumes. Hope you are all keeping safe over there! Cheers.

Works perfectly now thanks Yooper.

It appears that the "Total mash water needed" estimate tool is showing the total mash volume i.e. including the grain, rather than the H2O required. This is also what shows in the mash pH and water chemistry calculator. Can I fix this somewhere in my equipment profile or is a bug fix required.

Thanks Yooper. I notice that if you "reload" the recipe into the mash calculator the late addition grains are not included. They only appear if you "Update" the grain bill from the recipe. I also note that the mash pH on the "Recipe Builder" page correctly drops out the late addition grains...

Selecting Mash Tun, Boil Kettle It doesn't seem to make any difference whether the Late Addition (Mash Tun, Boil Kettle or Fermenter) is selected. When you "Update Grain Bill From Recipe" the roasted grains are included into the pH calculation. For example, the mash pH of a black IPA recipe...

When linking a mash pH and water chemistry calculator to a recipe that has roast grains added late in the mash or steeped in the kettle, the grain bill includes those roast grains for the mash pH calculation. Is there a way (other than manually deleting the roast grains from the mash bill)...
